Thank you everyone!

Wow I can't believe how many responses I got. I just want to thank you all for telling me your thoughts. It is so important in making my decision. After reading all the posts, I see that it is not as drastic as I thought it was. As Erin stated, "I can still have a taste or two of my favorite things I just can't gorge on them anymore". That makes all the difference to me. I don't mind giving up sugar, but I do need to know that once at goal, I can have a taste of things I love once in awhile. I don't drink coffee or soda, so that is not an issue for me. I only drink water now (the one healthy thing I do for myself) lol. I am leaning towards getting the surgery now and I have all of you to thank! I hope you will all be around for the journey. You are an amazing support system! Thanks again and I'll keep you posted on my surgery date. Janet Hadden
