Frustrated, Confused, and Discouraged

It's official, I'm in my second guessing stage..

I realized that I didn't want to spend the $7,500.00 on my sleeve and decided to cancel all of my appointments with my weight loss program. I plan on selecting a new plan this month during my open enrollment for benefits and selecting an "in network" surgeon for the surgery. So I have a lower deductable and go in network to reek all of the benefits of my plan.

So.. I stepped away from the forum for a while and started thinking about just being banded, because it's cheaper, it's reversible and I would still have all of my stomach.

I really felt like the sleeve is what I wanted, I didn't want to wait a long time to start seeing results like I would if I had the band.. and the thought of the band doesn't set well with me.

I feel like I am just trying to convince myself to do things the old way and start a diet, but I know how that goes.. I've been there.. I've done that and always always go back to my old weight. I now weigh more than I have ever weighed in my life. I noticed I actually started gaining more and more just with the idea of surgery.

I need advise here. I need to get back on track and I need to start feeling good again about this.

Thank you everybody! I knew that coming on here and just starting the conversation would help me get out of my funk :) You're comments are greatly appreciated :)

You're welcome. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I am hoping to be sleeved in December. We can be sleeve buddies, if you decide to go through with it. If your sleeved in Jan/Feb at least I can help you with any questions/concerns.
