Even if you are not sure go to it anyways. A seminar isn't a commitment. You can go through the whole program and not do it. If you have a weight issue, it's not bad to weigh all options. Surgery is a huge deal. You can waiver on if or when or why but go get your information. Explore your options. Maybe going will set in your mind how your journey will go no matter what you choose! Good Luck

welcome, welcome, welcome

always room for one more

i never had 2nd thoughts about having surgery

i was always so excited to start my new life

on the other hand, mmmmmany OP are very worried,

nervous pre-op

they are scared about having surgery

perfectly normal and understandable thoughts

write down a list of questions you can ask at seminar

answers will hopefully put you at ease

have more questions to ask before meeting with doc

KNOWLEDGE is POWER!!

good luck

I had 500 thoughts. In fact, they would change from hour to hour. For an entire month I agonized. I can tell you now 'WHAT A WASTE OF TIME", if I could go back I would have done it years before. It was by far one of the best decisions of my life.

Go to the seminar because it may help you decide. When I attended there were maybe 20 folks at mine. At least 3 stood up an left when the NUT said you may never have alcohol AGAIN, and at least 5 stood up and left when they talked about hair loss. A little dramatic yes, but it will weed out those who do not want to put any effort into their life changes.
