Well, here it goes. My surgery is tomorrow. I am doing the RYGB. I am going to be honest with you, I have wondered several times and I doing the right thing? But I keep coming back to why I started this journey in the first place. I hope/think it is normal to wonder why can't I do this on my own? What will my friends and family really think? Risk vs benefits of surgery? I am hoping a year from now (or for that matter even a couple of months) I will look back at this post and think this is the best thing I have ever done. I currently weigh 279. My biggest weight was 295, but consult weight was around 292.
Even though I have went back and forth on what to do, I am glad at this point I have kept my surgery date. Even though I am anxious, I feel this is the right thing to do. I pray almost daily about this and hope that everything will go well.
