Thanks for this. It’s such a big decision it was just kind of hard to wrap my head around. I also have parents who’ve had a bypass and a sleeve and have gained a lot of their weight back (they both lost a ton initially) so it’s probably more of I don’t want to be my parents. 😂

Hi! I'm new as well to the forums. I don't have a date just yet but just finished up the program to prepare me for surgery. I've been a bit of a lurker just to see what advice others are giving, and I was glad to see you post this as I've been debating myself. In general I'm a pretty private person. Only my husband knows and one other friend that deals with weight issues. Some of my best friends have always been skinny and I think I just feel like I'm going to be judged by them. I'm sure the reality is they would be super supportive and want me to make the right choice for me - but my heads just not there yet.
