I finally had the "talk" with my mom. She took it a lot better than I expected, she was actually ELATED...now I'm all weirded out....it was like that awkward moment when you find out your mom thinks youre really fat *tears* lol

Glad to hear that....good you talked to your mom...Good Luck on your journey

My mom took it well too, totally threw me for a loop. lol. I keep expecting her to say something negative about it, but she hasn't. I think at some point moms just realize we are adults and really just want the best for us.

I'm just happy I have her for support as I am sure you are too. Just take it and run with it. Good Luck!

I think it's wonderful your mom recognizes your need and is willing to support you. It could be worse... My mom was convinced I was going to die. Like really convinced. She insisted on coming to the hospital and hovered over me pre-op like she'd never see me again. Not gonna lie- it really freaked me out.

Now, eight months and over a hundred pounds later, she agrees it's the best decision I could have ever made and looks at me in awe. She constantly says she had no idea how big I was until she sees me now. She's actually apologized multiple times for not seeing my need and supporting me.

Hugs-

I haven't told my mom yet... but I think one of my sister's did... I told her I may have to have surgery for a hernia (which I may)... and when I was home she asked if i was still having my surgery.. I told her that I think so and she wanted to know if I needed her to come from MS to Chicago to stay w/ me... LOL...

I know she will be supportive, but I also know she will worry.. So, I will tell her everything once the surgery is over and I'm home recuperating for my 6 weeks!! I really excited to be away from work for over a month!!!

The people I have shared this with have been very supportive and helpful... My one friend who started spazzing out was fine after I told her I didn't need her approval or permission!
