Is Surgery worth it? (long & only my opinion)

Hi. I'm Denise.  I am kind of in the same boat.  I started dieting a week and a half ago at 330.  I have been down to 250 a few times over the past few years...Yep, I'm a yo you.  After gaining back everything that I lost last year, I was really frustrated.  A friend had RNY and has lost 103 lbs in 6 months.  She looks awesome.  I decided that it was something I wanted to do, but after frequenting the OH surgery boards, the risks just scare me alot.  I'm a nurse too and I think that makes it even scarier.  So, I am opting to diet and exercise again.  This time, I'm working really hard on changing my way of thinking.  When I want something because of head hunger and not actual hunger, I stop and ask myself...would you be able to have this if you had RNY?  No.    Can I do it?   I don't know.  I guess time will tell.  Surgery is not off the option list, but I sure would rather do it without it.

Good luck to you!  I think we can do this.

Thanks.
