clots and filter

[biggietosmaller 29]

This week I was diagnosed with blood clots in leg. My vascular doc suggested that I have a filter put in before the surgery. I am going to go forward with the procedure and surgery. I am a little nervous and wonder if it is worth it. I only have about less than100lbs to loss. Also I am a little worried about life after surgery if I survive surgery.

The filter is well worth it. Think of it as insurance, that you hope you never need. I think that's better than longterm blood thinners.

My surgery became a no brainier. I could lose the weight, shoot, I've done it before. What I needed was a tool that would help me keep the weight off. To me, losing weight is just part of the process, keeping it off is my real goal.

Tired of the Yoyo....

Susan: that is exactly why I am deciding to press forward. I am hoping that the surgery will help me to not over eat. I am planning on getting some professional help with the controlling my eating as well.
