What made you decide to have surgery?

[Rvamom 19]

Sorry if I have posted too many times today but this forum has been so helpful! How long did you consider wls before you contacted a doctor and began the process? Do you wish you had done it sooner? Waited longer? My doctor recommended I do it about a month ago and I have my initial consultation this week. I know the process could take six months or a year until surgery but I'm wondering if I'm rushing my decision making. What made you finally decide to do it? Was there a "straw that broke the camels back" moment for you where you realized you needed it? Ty

There was a thread on this recently if you search for straw you should get the thread and a lot of responses
