My prayers will be with you as you go through the surgery and recovery. May your strength be restored; your recovery be swift and your tender heart be renewed.

Sally, I applaud your decision. Only you know when you are ready for this. About Curves, I am 410 pounds now, down from 496. I can fit on all the equipment and even if you can't they will work out a different exercise for you to do at that station. I hope that you will look into it. To me it is one of the best things that I have ever done for myself. Take care and God Bless.

Dear Sally, I have just read your story, and I really feel for you, it is a very hard decision. I had my best friend have the surgery 5 years ago. I thought there was no way in the world I would ever do this. Then a couple years ago I thought about it, but still was unable to really want to go thru with it. Now here I am, going to have it next week. My mom just had the surgery 6 weeks ago. It really has to be when you are ready. Everyone gets scared, and it is ok. YOU need to make the decisions for you. As far as your family, let the pain go. You have others in your life who love you, and want to be with you. Sounds like you have a great bestfriend. Please think twice about going on the anti-depressants. I think it would help you alot. It has helped me, even though I fought taking them for years. As you know, from being a nurse, there is alot of people that are on them, and you have no need to be ashamed about that. I'm a nurse too, see alot of people who are unable to take care of themselves because of their weight, and I am sad for each and every one of them. Just remember, the people here on this site understand alot of what you are going thru, and WE DO REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU. Please take care of yourself. email me, I would love to hear from you, and talk more.

I hate that you decided not to go through with the surgery, BUT No one can force you into this either, this has got to be a choice you make. I know that being in Memphis by my self, and throughout the whole process,(I even had to drive my self because DH couldnt possibaly take off from his precious job.) I would have backed out too. But lying on the O.R. table getting ready to say woah, lets not do this, my surgen came in. The moment I saw him I had a perfect calm and was totally at peace with my decision. He had on his war face and I knew he knew exactly what he was doing. I hate that you had to worry about weather or not the insurence company would cover you or not. I hate that they canciled your surgery on 12/12. I hate that you went without heat and was stranded in your own home without anyone to comfort you or to keep you warm. Sally I hate that this is all happening to you. With the greatest of understanding, I do understand, And I do know that you have to do what you think is best, but you have come So far and faught so hard for this, so that the addiction, alass, may take over, yet again. Dear Sally, Your struggles are my struggles darling, as I read your posts every day, I just want to reach out and hold you, and never let you go. Good luch in what ever you choose to do , but do remember, the door is still unlocked, all you have to do is open it. With love, Ruth

Sally, you are the bravest woman I know! The weeks before surgery are the hardest part of the journey and you have endured all this and decided not to go ahead. That takes a lot of strength. I know this has been a rough road for you but you have made the right decision for YOU! And YOU are the only one who could make this decision. I wish you success with WW and I know you can do it! Perhaps WLS is in your future....once again that is your decision, but in the meantime, since you felt no peace in your heart about the surgery, then it is the best decision to cancel for now. God bless you in your future and please, stay with us! We are all cheering for your success however you attain it. Yes, you can succeed with WW and I believe you will! When the time is right for anything, with God's guidance, we all know it in our hearts. You know it and I applaud your courage and strength. Yours in WV
