    First off, congratulations on getting healthier! The changes you are making right now are what is going to determine your success and it sounds like you are taking the steps to create change! Congrats! Do what your head and heart tell you is the right thing to do. The decision to have surgery is between you and your doctor but even your doctor will tell you that all surgery has risks. We are all here for you and support you!

    If you depend on someone with a stronger will to tell you to do it or not, then you can just as easily be swayed to change your mind again.

    Something as fundamental as your health must be your decision alone. This will also give you the toughness of mind to stick it through to the finish line.

    To be clear, I'm not backing either decision.

    Thank you. You're right. Ultimately it's my decision and I have to just trust myself.

    You're right. It's not so much that I don't have a strong will, I'm just a bit scared. But it must be my decision ultimately.

    I got scared on the gurney five minutes before surgery. A little late then, LOL.
