Hello all. Long read
This a person decision that only you can make. This surgery is a total life change, we are given a tool to work with not a magic wand. We need to learn to make healthy food choices especially if you don't dump to help stay away from high fat and sugar foods. I made this choice for myself with my husband's support. I would have done it without his support. I did not tell the rest of my family until I had a date for surgery. I did this because I did not know how they would react. I had plenty of support by my friends, this website and I attended monthly meetings through my surgeon's office.
You are young and you should plan on living a healthy long life with your wife and son. As many of us who have attended WW and lost then always regained plus some. Keep on researching and do what you feel is best for YOU! Good Luck in what ever desicion you make for yourself.
