Hi Everyone!!

Hey there, I just wanted to give a littel update on things with me. Im still in Therapy..My psychologist says im progressing very well. He said he is almost sure that it will be a good thing for me. He siad his one concern is what he calls "self stubborness" after surgery. basically he is concerned that i may no****ch out what im eating because im so worried about everyone/thing else. Problem now is im sort of unsure i want surgery afterall. Maybe its just the negativeness ive been hearing recently..death, complications, etc. I would still like to have surgery but, want to be 100% sure before i say yes. In other news, I decided that i can't handle working 2 jobs anymore. i have been so exhausted that i feel like crying by the end of the night. My husband is ok with that too. He and the kids have been missing me and i miss them also. My hubby said that the bills will get caught up eventually but, burning myself out is nto the answer. Take care everyone!! Erika

Hi Erika, I can understand your worry with the past news on the loss of patients. This is a known risk with any major surgery for obese people, not just for this type of surgery. It is one of the main risks that is talked about in the meetings; so that people are made aware before making a decision. It is also important to remember the ratio for successful WLS patients vs the unsuccessful WLS patients. But always make the decision based on your comfort level. Take care of yourself first and foremost. From what you are saying you are doing just that. Keep up the great work on getting yourself healthy mentally and physically. Hugs, Cindy K.
