Making the Decision

Oct 24, 2010

I have been thinking about getting surgery since i was 18 but ive always felt that it was the easy way out and i should be able to do it on my own.  Now im 27, 370lbs and Ive finally realized that i need help and surgery may be my only option.  I have an appointment with my PCP wednesday and Im going to talk to her about it and hopefully get the ball rolling.  Ive already been talking to my friends and family and they all seem to be supportive, hesitant and scared, but supportive.  Ive also talked to several people that have had the surgery and they all say its the best decision they ever made.  I am nervous about complications from the surgery and of course the extra skin after losing so much weight but i feel like its a small price to pay to get my life back.
