who was the lady thinking of backing out?

Anyone remember who The poster was yesterday who was wanting to cancel her surgery set for today ( I believe)?  I'm wondering what she decided. 

She had posted on the VSG Board here, but left us hanging.  Hope she went through with it, and hope she'll update us.

She didn't have the surgery.   She posted an update. 

She cancelled it 

Sad...

Very sad, but hopefully she will find her path.

That's a shame. I guess if you're nervous and really trying to listen to your inner voice or looking for a sign not to proceed, you've got to follow your heart. Thank goodness my heart led me to do it!

I guess it's important to feel really ready. 

I don't think it's sad.   I think it's good she decided not to go through with a surgery she did not feel ready for.  I think it was courageous of her to make the decision she felt was best for her even though some people will look down on her for it.

I agree with Kelly.  She didn't sound at all ready to make the commitment needed to be successful long term,and I think waiting until she IS ready is the best thing she could have done.

When I first looked into WLS (when I met a hard school colleague who had done it several years earlier), my insurance had an exclusion. About a year and a half later, the exclusion was eliminated and by then I had done more research, had done some additional "head work", and was ready to change my life.  When I first considered RNY, I was expecting it to be something easy to "fix" my obesity problem once and for all (even though I knew I was going to have to change my food choices and eating habits).

I don't think I would have been as successful if I had done it when I first looked into it.
