Hi! I'm 24 and will be having my surgery on Jan 18th and I have many doubts also but my reasons for having the surgery outweighs any and every doubt'Im 296 and I don't have any medical problems what so ever but I know I'm pushing it lol...I've tried every diet and I've exercised but couldn't keep the weight off and I dont want to be this size for the rest of my life! Whatever you choose make sure its because its what you truly want and weigh your options...GL
