What Is (or Was) Holding You Back from Weight Loss Surgery?

I chose "Other" because .....go ahead and laugh, I thought surgery would be the easy way out. Just get the surgery and Bang! you lose weight. No discomfort, no sacifice......yeah, I was wrong.

My hold up was my college (well post college) party lifestyle. I remember researching gastric bypass procedures and reading that alcohol was no longer going to be an option, or at the very least, a very limited option and this was not appealing to me. I know how this sounds... So ultimately, I think my major hold up was my immaturity. I am 32 now and feel like I have a much more mature handle on priorities. My health is now important to me.

Fear of failing at WL even with surgery as well as fear of no longer being fat... I used my weight as an excuse not to do many things and I was afraid of the level of autonomy i would have. Also having failed so many times at WL, I feared being that anomaly who failed after wls.
