Hey Denise.....a big welcome to the board! This is indeed an awesome place with great folks.
You will find all kinds of info and support......and someone who understands almost anything you might encounter along the way. It's good that you have some hesitation. This surgery is a major decision, and contrary to popular belief, does NOT do all the work for you and make you skinny.
But at first it does do all or most of the work for you, and it is so freeing as the weight drops, and it is so motivating. The keys to success, in my opinion, are to make sure you have support (this board is an awesome start), work on your head and behaviors of why you overate in the past, then focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following the guidelines. The surgery will always be there to help you, but as the months go by you really have to take on more of the work. But if you are committed, then this time absolutely WILL be different. The journey is filled with ups and downs, but is truly amazing!
