male only On the fence for surgery...

[familyguy 147]

I decided this time I'm making the decision for myself and I don't care what others think. I've dealt with it my whole life and I'm the only one that can take action to improve my health. What helped me was to look at the pros and cons. There are huge pros and huge cons, but for me the good will far outweigh the bad if it can help me get healthy again.

I'm with you. Someone said to me "Whats the liklihood of you getting down to a healthy weight and staying there for the rest of your life on your owm". For me the answer was very low. So, the choice became "do i want to deal with this surgury or do i want to be obese and unhealthy the rest of my life? I chose the surgury.

Im 12 days post op and honestly am in no pain with a ton of energy. You cant hardly eat anything, but thats sort of the idea.

Good luck with your journy.
