I was not going to tell my mother anything about my surgery. I spoke about it back in 2013 and she talked me out of it. My hubby talked me into telling her because 1)she's my mother and 2) just in case something happens. Again, she is in opposition of the surgery and she flat out told me that I was not going to have it. She wants me to cancel, lol. My brother on the other hand respects my decision. I refuse to have the conversation again with her. My surgery date is set for August 26th and there is no turning back now.

My story is very similar to so many of you. My PCP had the nerve to tell me that I was mobidly obese. I was so upset over that, totally in denial. I have to take 3 diferent types of BP meds, on the CPAP and I have arthiritis in both knees and in my back. At the age of 39, my body is way older than that. I have 5 wonderful children all under the age of 10 and a husband. I want to be there for them for a long time. Anything, which I think it the ultimate of them all. I HATE MY BODY!! EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Enough is enough! My WL journey started in 2012. I felt it was time to take care of myself, which is not easy to do with a full household. It starts now, this month I will make a permanent change in my life. August 26th, here I come!
