I have decided not to go through with the surgery. If they can fix the pain I have in my head then I believe I can do this.

@Berry78 That's what I did. It is helpful either way because my insurance would accept any attempts at medically supervised weight loss over a 2 year span, so even if I decided against it and changed my mind later, I wouldn't have to start the process over again.
I ultimately went through it because after losing 30 lbs on my own in the first 4 months. I eased up a bit in my 5th month and even though I stuck mostly to plan, but had a few "last hurrah" days in there, I gained 20lbs back in month 5. I realized then and there I could not do it on my own.
Sage advice, my friend.

I completely understand that. I definitely want to learn the nutrition side of things. I wasn't able to make the first nutrition appointment this past Monday because of work. I hope I can continue to go and learn and develop a sense a good eating habits. My biggest down fall is the support that I have at home. My partner eats whatever whenever and that doesn't seem to help me at all. So getting him on board with eating with me and eating what I eat will help me succeed the most.

@smb123 I struggled at first myself, my nutritionist got me together and did not allow me to give up.Also, the nurse practitioner helped me tremendously as well.I almost gave up twice, but I have decided to go for it. I'm praying for you and I know you will make the best decision for yourself

Well that's not too bad hopefully you want feel it too much longer.
I haven't had surgery yet. I might have to have brain surgery first. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. Just depends on what steps the doctor thinks is right at this point but my weight is causing that so might do the WLS first or the other.

Still waiting on my neurologist to contact my insurance company so they can get the approval process going and the 6 month diet plan waived. My eye sight is getting worse as the days pass.
