Weight loss and being conflicted

So everyone I talk to, (therapist, family and friends) say i should try to get a consult for weight loss surgery. Well, so I got one tomorrow.

I've been battling myself if it is something I should really look into. I know some people who would consider it a dramatic decision, and it is. But, does it have a more pro vs con to it?

I've gained 90 lbs the past 6 years. Started with the pregnancy of my daughter, then removal of my thyroid and then covid 19 happened. And then needing a hysterectomy and ovaries removed. I dont regret any of those things, - minus covid 19 - , but my body has been through the ringer.

Fibromyalgia and neuropathy make it extremely hard to loose weight by working out. The type of working out you need to loose weight sets my flares off and then sets me back a week at least. Feeling like I've got the flu.

I have talked to my doctors and therapist and they have seen body pain be reduced after weight loss surgery and I can imagine just the excess weight being taken off helps tremendously. Given I am on hormone therapy for estrogen and thyroid it will be extremely hard to loose the weight. I'm on a plateau too.

Anyway, I feel excited for it. I qualify for it. My mom said she will be there to help me afterwards as I heal....that is if I go through with it.

I have been dealing with body pain yesterday and through the day today as well. Trying to stretch as much as possible mostly. I am paranoid I will cause a flare. I miss the weather during vacation. I felt like I could breath better for sure.

Will update after the appt tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Stay positive.
