This was the hardest part of the whole day

This is the part I fear the most. I am crying just looking at your pic.

I am not banded yet. I think I may just send my boys to school and just not make a big deal out of what I am going to do. Right now they are 10 and 3. Maybe I can get my band before they are out of school. LOL. Best of luck to you;)

I cry looking at it now!!! No you are going to need their support throughout the entire day. I look at this picture and it makes me cry because this baby is the reason I live and breathe everyday and the main reason that I got the band. He is 10 and I am not going to miss a day of his life because I could not run or jump or move... or worse because I'm dead... I did it to be fair to him.... You will be fine!!! Seeing your kids before the surgery will make you go into it and come out of it just for them..... Best of luck right back at cha!!!!
