That's awesome!!
My husband is starting to come around too. We talk about it like any other thing, and he even brings it up sometimes, asking what he's going to do in Mexico for three days, and where he can sleep and all that.
I booked our flights this past week! Only 7 weeks away!!
I'm still asking a million questions to my coordinator, and every once in a while I start questioning if this is the right thing to do. I just wish there were more people with similar stats to me (and most of us in this thread) that were willing to share their experience.

I'm planning to talk to my mom tonight about my decision. I know she isn't going to be happy. I've briefly mentioned before that I want it and she brushed it off and told me I need to just start being happy with how I am. I know I'll feel much better just to get it off my chest that I've made up my mind, and if she doesn't support it I guess I'll just avoid the topic in the future. I know both her and my dad would be pretty upset if I did this without telling them, so I'm at least giving them the option to support me or ignore that it's going to happen.
Aiming for surgery January 6th. I don't plan on telling anyone else and I think I can probably get away with it if I do it at the start of the year. Everyone is always on a diet after New Years it seems, at least I always am, so my friends and the rest of my family won't think it's anything out of the ordinary.

So glad I found this thread.
Most threads with people with low BMIs are filled with others tearing them apart for wanting to go through with WLS.
I'm 5'1 with a BMI over 28. I'm only 28 years old and my weight just keeps creeping up more and more. Even when I do stick to a strict low carb diet I can't seem to drop the weight (that's the only way I've been successful in the past).
Anyways, I've pretty much decided to go through with the surgery. I will have to do self-pay and going to Dr. Ponce in Mexico. My husband isn't super keen on it, mostly because of the typical thoughts regarding cheap Mexican surgery, but it's starting to ease up. I met with my family physician today, expecting her to jump down my throat but she was really good about it actually. The only other people I plan on telling are my parents.
Please continue sharing your post-op experience, it's making me feel a lot more comfortable and convincing me I'm doing the right thing!
