You are going to hear alot of that on this site. It is the best advice. You need to do something because from what you are writing you need to do something before something happens to you. I am 5 days post op. I know that I can not speak for the people that are farther out but my wife is almost 9 months out. And I know she would not trade what she did for anything. I will tell you I was ready to walk out the day of surgery. When I woke up I wondered why I did it. When I was fighting all the complications and the crap that goes along with being in the hospital I wondered why I was doing it. But I know it is the right thing. I know that overall it was this or die from all the other b.s. I know that thru life you make choices either you make them or they are made for you. One thing that every one on this forum will tell you. You have done something. Whether you have the surgery or not you have done something. Never give up. This is a tool. It is NOT the easy way out. This a lot harder than giving up and just waiting until you dont wake up someday. Then your obit just says you died in your sleep. Do something and you will feel better about yourself.

wish you all the luck and all the wisdom you need to make the right choices.
