I have a BMI of 29 at -age 30, I started some research 3 weeks ago, and now I have a set in stone date in 10 days in Mexico. I am scared I jumped the gun. I read posts from people saying they wish they would of done it sooner, well here I am at sooner and I don't know if I should go through with it...although family history is scary, and I've never been under a size 12..ever. I am only getting fatter.

Best thing I can tell u is not to put pressure on yourself. Know you will be fine whatever you choose to do... And the choice is still yours! If u feel u r on a roller coaster, get off, and collect yourself. Be sure of your next move.

You have ALL the power in this situation.

You will know -- yes, you will -- when and if having WLS is right for you.

Nothing is set in stone! You're young, don't pressure yourself

Yes this is a forever decision.

Please don't be afraid to cancel if you are not ready for this step!

I came around to a decision of yes, the fat on my eyelid that I had previously cut out with a knife, is growing back. This eyelid fat reflects high blood cholesterol levels and goes hand in hand with heart disease and an early death. Time to grow up and get serious with a long term diet of eating less. Oh and vaping, I had to quit that.
