Got the Call. But. I am just not ready!
Hi all. Had another appt with my NP yesterday. Talked again about WLS. Given my anxiety and indecisiveness we concluded together that it's not the right time for me. This am I got the call from HRRH for orientation. Talked to them for a bit. Decided to cancel my referral. If and when I am ever ready for WLS all I have to do is be referred again. I really didn't want to waste anyones time or resources!

Hi Deb,
This is tthe right decision for you at this time. You need to be ready physically, and mentally for this journey. When it was first suggested to me, I wasn't sure I was ready, several months later, I was and I started the journey then. This may have caused me to wait longer, but it was the decision that I needed to make when I was ready.
You have done well on your own already, you can commit to that. And when you are mentally ready, you can do this.
Either way, you are always welcome here. This site isn't just for surgery, we'll support you either way in your journey.

Good for you for realizing your not ready !!! That is almost as hard as making the decision. I know 4 ppl that have had a successful surgery (friends and co-workers) and I thought they were all crazy. I said no way, I dont have the dedication or the strength. But, after much time and research, I have decided its right for me. And I have yet to even attend the first info session. However, I am feel like I am prepared, we will see. But kudos to you, being true to yourself is equally as important.
I think it's great you've realised you aren't ready prior to going any further with this.. you definitely have to be in the right frame of mind to tackle this! I can relate to how you are feeling, as I too was very anxious about making this decision.. It's a major lifestyle change, and I do wish I had taken a bit more time to mentally prepare myself for the obstacles that you face post op. I'm sure when you do make the decision to proceed with the surgery, you will be very successful!
I wish you the best of luck for whatever decision you decide to make in the future! And congrats on the weight loss you've achieved to date on your own! You should be proud of yourself for that :)
