I go for my information session july 31 ive heard alot of mixed stories. I am nervous about the sugery and the dieting. Ive always had problems sticking to diets i get depressed and give up. Food seems to be comfort food my ecaspe.

It is unfortunate but undeniable that the surgery can be defeated. When all is said and done, the bottom line is that it's all about lifestyle changes. The first time I heard "lifestyle changes" from my surgeon it scared me right down to my toes. Very intimidating. That said, I can't imagine any more powerful motivation than your concern for your daughter and your sister. This forum is an amazingly valuable resource and it doesn't cost a dime. Here you can read real stories from real people with real successes - and real failures. You can read about struggles. And you can read about solutions. You can read about fears. And you can read about overcoming them. You can ask any question without fear of judgment. We've all been there at one time or another. This is "reality TV" Internet style. Take your time. Post comments, share your fears, ask questions and carefully consider your options. There is nothing you cannot be, do, or have.
