I'm having doubts lately about having surgery. There is nobody that is talking me out of it except myself. Since march I have lost over 20 lbs on my own. I'm doing it for myself' date=' by myself. Know the surgery would work but I don't know if I'm at the point in my life where I can go through with it. With these doubts I will not undergo surgery. I will however finish all my preop requirements so that if I change my mind in the near future I'll be able to get it done. I wish you all the best. Thank you for being there for me, and for each other.[/quote']

Good decision. If I could've persevered on my own I would have. I don't know your weight or weight goal but people do it all of the time without bypass...I'm just not one of them. I'm so happy that your 6 month pre authorization stage is working for you. Congrats and best wishes! Hope you stick around and continue to be an encouragement to others:)

To all who don't have a support system. I would do it anyways for yourself. I could've have my surgery in 2008 but I didn't because I had no real support system. Now 2012 regretting it and much heavier. So starting my program all over and doing it this time. Also now all these years later they wanna support me. I could have be at my goal and happy. Never let anyone regardless stop you yourself from being completely happy.

I think you are making the right decision. People should have surgery when they feel ready. You can get a dietician that will help you lose weight,and I think you will do just fine if you lost 20pounds with out any problem.

I'm not trying to talk you out of it but if I knew then what I know now I would not do it.....and I've decided that my husband can not do it!

There should be a love button :)

Everybody is different . Some people regret the surgery . The surgery was a must for me . The complications from obesity are WAY WORSE then the surgery. Do what your gut feels!!! Thank god I'm doing great and I'm very very happy with my choice !!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
