Hello everyone! First time post here ☺️ glad I found this site. Anyway, what was the moment you decided to go through with the surgery? I feel like since the beginning I've been on the fence. My doctors (cardio, pulmonary, primary) all believe that surgery is the right choice for me, but the impression I have is that they want me to get the surgery as a preventative. I've gotten so big that right now I'm lucky I have nothing going on. In fact, my cardiologist said she doesn't usually push surgery but that I'd be the perfect candidate because I'm young and healthy without any issues. I'm 26, 4'10 and 240 pounds. I started Saxenda on January 18 and since then teeter between being 25 and 27 pounds down, at my highest weight I was 266 That's the most weight I've ever been able to lose, the bariatric surgeon thinks I'll get down to 125-130 (which is scary on its own lol) Saxenda is meant to be a long term medicine which scares me because if I were to get pregnant for example, I would have to stop it and it seems like the weight almost always comes back, I'd also love to avoid a daily injection for the rest of the foreseeable future. With that said I know very well that the surgery is a lifelong change which I believe I'm ready for, I'm just not sure if I'm at the point where it's the BEST option. I guess I don't know how to decide if THIS is when I stop trying to do it all alone and admit I need more help. I've seen so many people say they wish they had done the surgery sooner but I also see the horror stories and while logically I know success rate is very high and bad reviews are typically the loudest I can't help but feel torn. If you stick around and read through my novel, I appreciate you!
