I'm not really asking about folks who experience significant complications that lead to regret. I am wondering if I will regret that I didn't just tough it out and lose on my own.

I have low 100 pounds already, albiet over ten years, and I don't want to keep that pace going -- it's up and down up and down, losing, regaining some but not all, beating myself up and then losing again.

My surgery is Thursday and if I cancel, not a big deal, I have to pay a $50 fine but I am thinking of canceling.

I have lost 25 pounds since September without surgery, 100 overall. So I know I can lose without surgery. So why am I having the surgery?

Is it really much easier to lose with a RnY?

What say anyone?

I say do what works for you, weigh your pros and cons and come to terms with what you need to do:)

Good luck in whatever you decide:)

Sadly my friend passed away 28 days after her Vsg. She never got off life support and was declared brain dead. She was 46 years old.

Sorry to hear of this, sending prayers to you and her loved ones....very sad indeed.

Thank you.

Truely tragic. There are no words to express this pain. My heart goes out to you all
