Why have the surgery?

I am 37 BMI 41.3 I weigh 240 bls. I have been considering to have an RNY hopefully in the near future. I have read several posts and keep asking myself why don't I just try again to lose this weight by doing what I'm supposed to do anyway. EXCERCISE!! Cut down on CARBS(my favorite) and SWEETS. It seems that after I have the surgery I will have to do this anyway. Why go ahead and take such a drastic measure? Then I tell myself look you have tried it on your own a million times and failed, with the surgery at least you will HAVE to do all the right things or you will suffer for it. By doing all the right things because of the surgery hopefully it will become a lifestyle and not be so hard to contoll the weight? Am I rambling or has anyone else have any thoughts?
