I am going through the process of being approved by my insurance company for the sleeve procedure. In the mean time I have joined weigh watchers and have lost 10 pounds. I have tried every diet under the sun and the weight has come back. Could it be possible that this time weight watchers will be the answer and that i will be making a mistake by having the surgery? I am so afraid of the changes that I will need to make after surgery. I am addicted to food. Food has been my best friend and worst enemy. I am afraid of what will happen when I want that food but my body can't have it. I am afraid that I will find ways to have my food and ruin my surgery. I really want to lose weight for my health and I don't want it to come back. How do I know if surgery is the right answer? Help!!!!

I love WW and have been on it off and on for many years!! And like others have said, its not the losing that's hard, its keeping it off!! If you can do it with WW alone, then more power to you! But most of us know that we have tried and tried and have failed numerous times and have no other choice at this point!! I haven't been sleeved yet but if I could've done it through WW alone, then I wouldn't be on here!!!

Please, make sure this is the right decision for you. This is a great tool but if you need professional help, make sure to get that resolved before surgery; otherwise the sleeve will be done in vane.

Good luck with your decision and keep us posted!!
