  1. Finally Moving Forward

    I have been researching this surgery for MONTHS, lurking on the boards, reading other people's experiences, checking out surgeons, and hardest of all, talking to my husband. He was not supportive at first--he doesn't want me to die....but I wouldn't be the first person in his family to have WLS so that's something. He also won't just sit down and talk about it with me. I have to throw little bits of information at him on the sly and then let him ponder them at length.
     
    So tonight, FINALLY, he agreed that he's 100% on board and even helped me choose a surgeon! I feel like such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders! I feel like CHANGE is finally possible.
     
    I have been hiding in my house for months. I literally cannot bear to have anybody see me "like this". My weight has had its ups and downs and all my life I've trended toward the voluptuous, but I've finally reached the point of saying "no more". There IS a light at the end of the tunnel!
