I have chosen to have the lap and surgery after 2 years of contemplating it. I don't know if I was scared or just not ready to change myself. At the highest weight I've ever been, 315lbs., type 2 diabetes since 2007, high blood pressure since 2008, and PCOS since 2007, I HAVE to make a change. I'm only 24 years old and I have my whole life ahead of me, I don't want to lose my life because I didn't get myself healthy.
My fiance is unsure of the way my surgery will affect our relationship, and I have pushed our wedding back another year so I can lose as much weight as I can before the wedding.
I am worried about my willpower in the long run of this decision. I just hope I can keep myself strong and stick to the right way to eat.
