We understand that you are scared. Can you get too much information on WLS, probably not. It's important for you feel comfortable with the decision you've made. You are the only one that make this dicision and you have to say to yourself, enough is enough. When you know you have tried everything and your health is suffering and your co-morbidities are life limiting, you'll know it's time.


I can't say enough good about support groups. I'll share with you my story about them. I was bummed when they said I had to go to two more before my surgery. I told myself, I'll go because I have to but I had no intention of going to any more than I had too. How sad for me if I would have followed through with this plan. I have gained so much more than information. I have gained knowledge that will see me through to goal and life beyond. I have gained friendships that I treasure. I have learned to open up and share my feelings (very hard for me to do). I'm still working on this.

I wish you peace in your search.
