Hi Sleevebabe, I'm sorry you are going through that, unfortunately there are many closed minded people out there, my father, sister & my boyfriend being a few of them. It is a bit difficult to feel confident and sure about your decisions especially when you want your family to be on board. I originally had my first surgery scheduled for May 23, 2017, but because I felt like I had to please everyone by listening to them also told me that I could do it on my own and not get surgery I backed out. I went another month and a half debating on whether it was the right choice and I eventually decided I needed to do this for myself and no one else. My advice to you is follow your gut choice do not let anyone stand in your way of what you feel is right for you. If you do you'll only be living for other people not for yourself and this decision is based on making your life better not anyone else's. I just got my surgery done on July 18 and I am happy with the decision that I made and your mother and sister will eventually come around. Just don't let them stand in your way of doing what you feel is right for you. At the end of the day family will still be there.
