I need help making this decision

I am scheduled for surgery in 2-1/2 weeks, but now I'm having BIG doubts, partly because my sister had an open RNY about 3 weeks ago and has had a few problems, but also because I have been able to lose about 25 lbs. on my own in the last couple of months and I'm wondering if I should just keep doing it on my own or if I should have the surgery. For you post-ops, what are the benefits of having the surgery vs. losing it on my own and keeping it off if I can do it - and for those of you who opted not to have it, do you regret it now? I need to make a decision this week, so any help would be appreciated.
