My surgery is scheduled for Monday (3/14), and I'm super excited. I'm not nervous (yet), but am really looking forward to starting the rest of my life as a normal weight person. I've always been the bigger if not biggest friend of the group, I've always been the one to stay in the shadows and not want the spotlight, but I'm ready for that to change and just be normal and blend in. I have a little over a hundred pounds to lose. I've had some push back from a few close friends and family members I've told. Looking back now, perhaps I should have kept it to myself. My view is, in the months ahead they will come around and see that this was a "good -safe- choice for me". I don't need others acceptance, but was more looking for them to be on the same team...rooting me on, supporting my decision. I've read thru some of the posts on here where others have had the same thing happen, and it's actually helped me set in stone that I am making the right choice. This is about me,and what will finally help me get the body & life I want. I'm prepared for this and I can't wait!!!
