Mason, welcome to TT forum. I'm a little hesitant to reply because the tone of your follow-up post above feels kind of rude. Maybe it wasn't intended. It also takes some time to get replies to posts, so patience definitely pays off here at this GREAT resource for WLS patients in all stages of the process.
Corrine is absolutely correct in everything she posted, so I won't repeat it.
What I'll pass on is what worked for me and some others I've met who had WLS and either succeeded with their weight loss or did not. The KEY is research, research, research - coupled with talking to your doctor and their support groups. The sessions before surgery are PERFECT for all your questions, so after you've done some research (reading here is GREAT), then have a list of the questions you have and take them to your surgeon's information seminars. You'll find so much information and you'll find it easier to determine if it's the right choice for you.
I will add that the people I know in real life that have succeeded have also used therapy as a means of succeeding after surgery. It's where the issues of what food is to you now are going to be processed and faced head on. THAT was the key to my own success after surgery. I say this: they did surgery on my body, I had to do it on my brain, mind, emotions and every area that was connected to my obesity.
I hope you find your answers and support and ultimately are successful in getting healthy!
