currently I am in the process of getting my surgery and I have thought about the risks and the improvements that could come afterwards, and I think that this is going to be the best thing for me. with that said, you have to decide if this is going to be the right thing for you I thought about just taking the money for the srgery and hiring a nutritionist to help with my meal planning but I know that will not work for me just make sure that you do what is best for you. good luck on making up your mind it is a hard choice.
