During my research on VSG, i came across a lot of great information. I also took the time to watch video blogs for inspiration and see what other people had gone through and i found one particular vloger that really helped.

She talks about all the emotional journey she went through and all the food addictions and emotional over eating. I agree 100% that most of us who are over weight, eat over our feelings. She also mentions that some fail after WLS because they never learn to deal with things from an emotional prospective.

I've never really thought i was eating emotionally. But after listening to what she had to say, i took the time to examine my behavior. And let me tell you in my culture everything evolves around food. We are constantly eating for all kinds of occasions. But I've noticed that depending on how am feeling, i tend to crave certain foods. And i believe this is very common for everyone. But I've also notice that i think about food way more then i realize. And it can be scary. I think about food even when am not hungry. I know it will be difficult, but with time i can fix it.

So, based on what I've learned and my personal needs, i can say that VSG is the right choice for me.

I encourage YOU to do your homework and examine your motives and emotions, and really come to terms with what your doing. Go online and watch vlogs and read other peoples stories. Picture yourself after surgery and on how difficult life may be. Think about the pain, the getting used to, the straggles. This is life changing. Things will never be the same. But we are all going after the same goal, to change and fix that habit that is taking control over our lives. This tool will help us achieve that, but it is up to us to make it happen.
