I never thought WLS was for me.  I didn't research it and just heard enough to think, "why would people do that?"   I was convinced lots of people were dying on the operating table.  

Time marched on and so did the lbs.  I lost 30 only to gain it back.  When I was at WW I really thought I had my head screwed on right.  I didn't.  The bounce back made my health so much worse. 

I got tired enough of feeling bad and realized I was scared to try conventional means again only to fail and make my health even worse. 

I really got scared enough into it.  I just wanted to feel better physically and I realized this was probably the only path to doing so.

I started researching and saw those stats weren't nearly as scary as I'd thought.  I saw former sweetaholics bursting with energy 10 years out from surgery.  I want some of that.

So in just over two weeks, all going well and no last minute issues, I'll be getting my surgery and starting my fight back to wellness.
