Sleeve-A-Licious

True, i know how you feel i had mine done in december and i had all those thoghts in my head as well. And i am a diabetic. Well was. I sat with my family before i did it and my husband asked me one important thing. Who was i doing this for. Was it for him because he loved me for who i was. Was i doing it for all those who looked down on me because they were never part of my life. My answer was. Me all me. I wanted to be healthier i hated take all my diabetic meds and insulin. I wanted to go out and try new things i wanted to be a part of my families activities. I have a 20 year old and a 3 year old. I wanted my daughter to have me arount. I was doing it fir me
I took my last shot in the hospital. And my endocrinoligest told me that i am no longer diabetic. I was so happy. This is hard work and something i will have to work with for the rest of my life i have been given the tools to work with its up to me what i can do.
When i decided to do thisi had already been talking to my husband and son and they were concerned but they were my biigges suport i told my parents and brother first the my husbands parents and family. And my closes friends. They all had concerns and the all asked me to reconsider. But the all told me that if i was determind the would be their. I oppened up to ecery one else after my surgery. And i did that because i wanted to be their for some that was thinking about it. If you need some to talk just let me know.

The surgery isn't going to change your life. You are going to change your life. The surgery is a tool to help you get there but only if you want to get there. You can get out it what you are willing to put into it.
Will people treat you differently? Some will and some won't, just like they do today. You will face people who would disapprove of your surgery and those who treat you differently k=now because you are big won't treat you the same in the future. I try not to associate with those who didn't treat me well in the first place. They weren't genuine people. As far as telling people, I waited 4 months before I told anyone. I wanted to make sure I was going to be successful because I knew that the surgery was a tool and if I failed, it was because of my lack of commitment.
My life has changed in so many ways for the better. Your life will too. Enjoy the ride and remember that we are all here to help. The community here is great.
