Any Christians battling/battled with the decision to have surgery?

I really would like to hear from other Christians who have battled with the decision to have WLS. How do I know if this is God's will for me? I don't feel as though I am doing this for selfish reasons, but I am still confused as to whether I will be sinning by having a surgeon reconfigure my digestive system to help me lose weight. I have been heavy my whole life and I have always prayed that I would one day finally be able to get this weight off and so far this seems like the answer. I just don't want to be seduced by the ways of this world. I don't want to convince myself that this is right for me, if it is not God's will. I'm sorry if I'm rambling. I have been dealing with this issue for a while and right now I am seeking an answer by praying and fasting (I've never fasted before). I think this surgery will help me eat to live, instead of live to eat. To really appreciate what the food does for my body, instead of just eating for pleasure. I'd really appreciate hearing from other Christians with some insight or words of encouragement. Thank you so much.
