This has been the best decision I have ever made for my life, my health and my family. No way do I regret it and if I had to do it all over again, I would.

Please don't let anyone make this decision for you but you. You are the one that will be going through all of the different lifestyle changes not them. I was scared to death to have this done but I knew from past expereinces that Iwould never lose the weight and keep it off unless I had some kind of help. My husband in the beginning was definetly against any kind of WLS but after he went to the seminars with me he finally told me that it was my desision and whatever I decided he would support me. Well I did have the surgery and a couple of days after I thought what in the world did I do to myself I couldn't eat had a horrible time even drinking but as the time went on (only days)I started feeling so much better. I started losing the weight I feel much better I have more energy I no longer need BP medication there are other things that I could say but I will just tell you that in no way shape or form do I regret it. I have lost 39 pounds since I had my surgery 6/26/06 and I am very very proud of myself.
