Decision to have surgery: Strongest or Weakest Time?

You can respond with either a comment or a video, whichever! But I've been thinking about this since last night and I'd like to know where everyone else stands on this!

it was definitely my weakest point. but then again, yes. it was strong as well since it's a huge, life changing decision to make.

See, for me it wasn't a hard decision to make.. I knew that was really my only option :-/ It took me three years to finally go through with it just because of insurance hassle otherwise I would have had it done three years ago when I first wanted to :-S

glad you made the decision though :D:D best thing I know i've ever done for myself

i consider it my weakest. i shouldn't have made the decisions i made to have the surguries, therefore i failed myself

I am also considering having the surgery now and I feel very strong one minute and very weak the next. I am waiting to hear back from the clinic that's going to do my wls and the insurance company.

Well for me I would say that it was my weakest point. When I finally gave up and said okay I'm fat, I am not getting any skinnier. I told myself that I was way too scared to have my insides rearanged. Now I plan on getting the surgery and I still feel defeated I geuss.

So far for me it has been a bit of both. Definitely the weakest because I'm looking at myself thinking, "is this really the only way i'll ever get healthy?" and the strongest because I'm also thinking, "finally I know what I have to do to reach my goals". It's hard because of the duality. I've honestly never felt more emotionally pulled in my life and I'm sure it's all got to do with the dynamic between feeling two extreme ways at the same time.

I definitely think I was at my STRONGEST point...I had just made some very major changes in my life...moved across the country, got a new job, bought a new place...started a new life...and then this decision just came to me. It was the right time...
