Topic: RE: unsure
I THINK I CAN UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE WAIT MAKING YOU SECOND GUESS YOUR DECISION NOW. I DID NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WAIT LIKE YOU DID, BUT I DID QUESTION IF THIS WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. EVEN THE DAY OF SURGERY I WAS STILL SCARED I WAS MAKING THE WRONG DECISION. ALL I CAN SAY IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE. I KNOW OTHERS HAD COMPLICATIONS, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WENT WRONG WITH ME. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS EVERYTHING THEY TELL YOU TO DO AND IT WORKS. I WOULD BE GLAD TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY JOURNEY IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
Topic: unsure
Ok some of yall might remember me. I was supposed to have surgey (RNY) back in December and found out that my thyroid was way low. So all this time I have been trying to get it back into the normal range and now it is. The problem is, now I am having second thoughts about the surgery. I was totally ready for it back in Dec. but now Ive had so much time to think about it, I am scared.( Of course reading the failed surgery forum didnt help at all.) Once they cancelled my surgery I quit eating like I was supposed to and now I just think, if I couldnt stay focused enough to stay on the diet before the surgery how am I going to do it after the surgery? I hear so many people say its the best thing they have ever done. But then I hear so many people who have soooo many complications afterwards. I dont know what to do. I keep thinking maybe I can lose weight without the surgery, but so far I havent. I know you cant expect to get different results from doing the same old thing. Has anyone else felt like this?

Well crap, wish I had seen this sooner. I'm part of a beading group that met at my house on Sat.....3 of the 6 have had RNY's....so it was sort of a support group. You'd have been welcome to join us.
