My date is June 14! So I am on the count down!! It's all very exciting!!!! Best of luck to you!

You made me cry reading it because I can relate and totally understand your feelings' date=' been there......waiting for my surgeons office to call me (hopefully Monday!) To set up my surgery date......feel like I have been waiting FOREVER even though it has only been 5 months altogether since I actually started this process.....I thought about it for years, and am finally acting on it....it is time for my new life!! :-) Best of luck to you!![/quote']

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I have spent so much of my life trying to accept that I would be 'the fat friend' for the rest of my life. Not only that., buy I would never forgive myself if I let this fat get in the way of my chance of being a mother. I have to have my Fallopian Tubes removed later in the year, so finding out that needed to be done really put me into a deep depression. I feel as though my sleeve surgery will give me a new chance at life. And I am grateful for that.

I am on day 2 of my 14 day Pre-Op diet and it is pure agony! The only thing helping me through is knowing that I have a huge prize at the end!!

I wish you all the very best on your journey!!

After finding out that (unexpectedly) that I am unable to fall pregnant naturally, I found that IVF was my only chance at becoming becoming pregnant and finally becoming a Mum. Due to my size, I realised that I would not currently qualify for IVF. How embarrassing. Not only that, but when I do have children, I don't want my kids made fun of because their mother is fat. I've lived my whole life as the fat, but funny person. I'm sick of using my sense of humour to cover my shame. I want to wear nice clothes and feel comfortable in when I go out- I want my husband to be proud to be seen with me. Most of all, I want to LOVE MYSELF. I want to look in the mirror and like what I see. I have felt that feeling. I'm crying as I write this because I know that I am so damn close to my surgery date. I can't wait to be given a second chance at life. And dammit, I'll make the most of it!!!
