Going solo is back! Slapped in the face a little but back.

Well with my last post I found out that even though I am not completly solo on my regrets of this surgery I am however among the few. I really appreciate all the words of wisdom, encouragment, and even the feeling of being slapped around a little from the people who have contributed to my post. The support on this web-site is exactly what I needed when I realize that it is all about attitude. I know that I have been frightened into a second round of reality with my friend's emergency surgery but after listening to everyone it has made me snap back to the fact that I need to deal with the choice I made three years ago and continue with this life long journey. I feel like being what they call one of the "lightweights" at 241 and now 181, fighting for every one of the 60 lbs that I lost and fighting even harder to keep them off because I have gained back 10, is a big reason why I feel the health risk and worries of the future were not worth this but I understand that for the more successful ones it must be a real blessing. I do however feel it is important to help anyone out there that is considering this surgery to know that as difficult as life may be heavy this is not a magic bullet to thinness. They need to hear all of our stories even the ones that are not "I would do it again in a heartbeat". Thank you again for the support and I especially would like to say thank you to Patricia for one little word, she told me to "BREATHE".
