Thank you so much for telling me your story. I have been wondering if I should tell some or all of members of my family. Now I see I have to choose the ones I know will be supportive.
Thanks for answering my story. I am still not 100 percent on doing the surgery. It's more likely than not. I'm glad you told me your story. I don't feel so alone.
I think my low point was when it had been almost a year since I had my heart attack I was then diagnosed with diabetes. My primary care physician asked me if I wanted a referral to weight loss surgery. That's when it hits me. I have to do something or I could die and leave my 10 year old son without me.
I am just starting my journey. I haven't made up my mind if I am going to do the surgery. I'm leaning towards the gastric sleeve. This whole journey scares me but I know I have to do something or my health is going to get worst. I know I have to live a healthier lifestyle. I haven't told most of my family and a few friends. I'm a little worried about what they may say. I know I need support to make it through this journey. I know I can do this My next appointment is next week and I will be seeing the nutrition and exercise person.
