OK sooooo I am uber excited but also just the tiniest bit POed. I put my date out for April 20th. (a million years away) I have to pay cash so that is when it HAS to be. Well my father must have went and managed to tell the entire family one way or another, because today I logged on to my FB to find a sassy comment on my wall.

"Dont go to Tijuana, Youll DIE down there, YOU ARE STUPID if you go, just go to the gym instead"

I had no idea that anyone even knew, OR if I even wanted to tell the family until after. Plus posted on my FB, allowed the million people I know and go to school with to also get a glimsp of the decision I have made. I didnt want anyone to know, like REALLY. Of course I immdietly deleted it, but what's done is done now. I just wanted the joy of being 50 pounds lighter, well on my way to my goal and being about to tell everone, yes i believe in Medical Tourism and I am living proof in the powers of WLS. That has been taken away from me now....and I guess I am just angry and wated to RANT.

Thanks,

Tiffany

So I would be seriously ticked off as well. I know what you mean because I am not telling anyone. I have only told my mother, sister and my husband. I am scheduled to have surgery on 3.8.10 with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali and my sister is about to lose it. She is a RN and just cannot understand the decision to go to Mexico even though she knows how the health care system in the states works. She is supportive of the surgery but not the Mexico idea. My husband is Canadian, so he is much more supportive. My mom of course just wants me to be happy. I started to accidentally post something on FB and as soon as I realized that is was on the public thread I immediately deleted it. You are definitely handling it the right way and are keeping the right attitude. It's hard to listen to those comments from people you love but remember this is all about you and what you need. Keep your head held high and stick to your decision. Congratulations on your date!
