I think you are right for doing the surgery with her. I'm 20 years old been overweight since I was 12 I was teased, my life was a complete and utter hell! I wish my mom would have looked into the surgery at 14 for me! I think you are definitely doing the right thing!
I think it is really awesome you made this group! I cannot wait to be able to discuss how my surgery went and share in my journey with all of you guys! I will be having surgery August 8th!
