I can understand why you want to have surgery, but I hope you've also worked on the psychological/emotional issues behind what is going on. I work in a hospital and the number of patients I've seen have the operation without even really trying to do much to help themselves is really sad.

It is a very drastic operation and I can't help but think they've managed to get through the counselling just to have the operation. Sadly enough, I know a lot that hadn't deal with their problems had the same problems when they'd lost the weight much to their surprise. They realised the weight really wasn't the cause of their problems but a symptom and for those that were addicted to food, quite a few then turned to another addiction to cover what they didn't want to face.
