Didn't do it



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I decided not to do my surgery tomorrow. I guess I'm not 100% ready. I started feeling like a failed myself & didn't give weight loss my all. I am going to diet & hire a personal trainer. I have more than 100 lbs to lose, I am going to give myself 1 year,hopefully I will reach my goal.

Thanks for all your support,this forum is the best.

Becka,

Good luck to you. I tried that and failed so I hope you have better luck. Its all good if you exercise by the band sure helps. Best of luck.

Becka -

if you weren't sure - then you probably made the right choice. The band will be availalbe later on if you change your mind.

Hugs and good luck with the D&E plan.

I agree with ReneBean, if you weren't sure then you weren't ready. You wouldn't want to be regretting the surgery. I think you made the right choice for yourself and you can always change your mind. The other way around would be more difficult.

You just cant do this sort of thing until you're 100% ready, so you've made a sensible decision. I made 3 surgeon's appointments and cancelled them all before I felt ready to do it too. I gave it one last ditch effort and I did OK but couldnt sustain the momentum so for me banding was the right path to take.

But you have to really KNOW that, so very best of luck with it all and this is still a great place to be for support.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
