Thankyou! I certainly hope so

I have a date with a surgeon on Feb 22nd and I honestly think that it will change my life. Ill no doubt have a stomache full of butterflies, Ill be wearing my best cotton night dress, complete with gaping hole at the back, my accessories will be made up of 2 id bands and my hair will be in a nice updo complete with elastic blue hair cap. No make up. No perfume and after 30 minutes of chit chat ill be knocked off my feet. Unfortunately its not a "hot" date .... its a "im doing this to save my life"date. I havent had the best support from my family. Ive told my parents and my husband. Initial response was bordeline cruel, but I can understand. They havent battled like I have with weight issues and they love me. They dont want to see someone they love have to go under the knife just to be healthy, but unfortunately thats the facts, and after telling them all that I dont care if I have their support or not, that Ill do it alone if I have to, they may have just come around to the fact that im serious. I booked the surgeon without them. I went to nutritionists without them, endocrinologists, physiologists without them. I consulted nurses, surgeons, speciallists, doctors without them so I was sure as the sun that I could do this without them. It was upsetting to think that I would have to though. But all is well. After walking away and leaving it to them to decide, they are on board. Good job considering that I went to the surgeon on the 25th of Jan and my surgery is in 4 weeks! My pre surgery diet crackdown starts in 7 days, im full of excitement and full of nerves. .. questions like what if something goes wrong? what if it doesnt work??? argh! a head full of cotton wool at the moment and its a little overwhelming. Even though Im talking into space right now... its nice to know that there is a space I can talk to.. and that im not alone. Love and best wish to all surgery goers. Holly from Oz
