Hey my name is Tori I'm 23 and live in Missouri and am currently waiting to get my approval. I don't have much support and so I am turning to all of you and if I can get just a little bit of advice from anyone and maybe some support that would be amazing!

Thank You

Tori

Hey Tori..I'm a Missourian too ..welcome to the forum!

I have fought for support from my family and friends for a while now. I have finally realized that I am doing this for my health and to help my family more in the long run. My husband isn't thrilled that I am doing this but at least he has stopped trying to talk me out of it. I have surgery scheduled Wednesday morning and I am nervous, scared, excited. I have also stayed away from the negative attitude and comments from what was a close friend of mine. I have always been the "fat" friend and I don't think that she can handle that I'm not going to be that anymore. Good luck with your decision and if you decide that it is right for you then stick to your guns and don't listen to the negatives. Best wishes.
