I'm sure you will get more support if you can provide more info on what you need support with. Your profile reflects you are hoping to have surgery so we're unsure what issue(s) you need help on. Try editing this post or just re-post with more info.

As was stated earlier we need to know what areas you need support in order to lend it. You will find a very caring group of people on this site and they will try and help you in any way they can.

Ask your surgeon's office to recommend a weight loss surgery support group in your area. Once you find one, attend the meetings regularly. You'll get good information to help you succeed, you'll be able to ask questions of people who have gone through the same struggles and successes as you, and you'll get a lot of support and encouragement. Also, look for members of ObesityHelp who inspire you, and ask to be placed on their "friends" list. Then, you can ask them questions about their succes when you need an idea, or just some encouragement. Hang in there, you can succeed. You are definitely worth it! God Bless.

I have been contemplating surgery for over a year. I finally took the plunge and am on my pre op road about 3-4 months out. I have constantly had misgivings and fear. However, I'm still trying to stay the course to eventual bypass. Yes it looks difficult. Yes it's not easy. Yes to these and many more. I constantly have questions and wonder what I'm letting myself in for but I also know I am miserable the way I am. We have to all stick together to help me, you, and others. No one knows what each of will decide or do but whatever it is we're all in this together whether we have enough local support or not. I have similar issues and thoughts. I just keep listening and praying.
