So im having surgery Aug 8 starting to have cold feet i lost 15 pounds leading up to the operation starting to think if i can do this on my own with out surgery

If you are able to do it on your own go for it.

But as someone whose weight has bounced up and down so many times over the years, that her middle name should have been Trampoline. You won't have a Happy Life until you commit to surgical intervention. EVERY TIME I LOST WEIGHT FROM MY TUMMY IT CIRCLED AROUND AND GOT ME IN THE BEHIND! I even categorized myself as having an Daisy Duck Upsweep back there! My older son when I would carry him in a Gerry Backpack would stand up,on the footrest which laid on top of the" upsweep". If I didn't move fast enough for his tastes he'd stomp his feet.
Ah the memories, he grew up and became suddenly my ANGEL SON at 31 when he died of an unsuspected heart and circulatory defect. If I had a clue what someday would have happened I would never stopped his stomping!????
