Im knew to the surgery im 2weeks post op vsg had it done 3-19-13 and so far I dont regret this journey im taking.. I too had people around me that were negative towards this procedure but I have 2kids and I made this decision because of them I want to be around for a long time if god permitts.. All you need is your husbands support and you have it so dont be afraid about what your family says.. Good luck on your journey hope everything goes well <3
