Is anyone else having issues with family? It seems like for me I have to be on the defense about this surgery with everyone. They always have to tell me why it's not a good idea, and how I'm making a terrible decision. Of course, I think otherwise, but it's getting exhausting trying to defend my decision. I'm not really the type to keep it to myself and sneak off and do it, but sometimes I wish that I would have just kept my mouth shut about it! Lol

The best part is when I opened the front door and she has a half eaten cookie hanging out of her mouth while trying not to spill the rest of the tray!!

Sounds just like something my mom would do! And she'd get offended if she did that and I told her about that.

I'm going to Garcia Feb 27th... when you get back message me and tell me if he is AWESOME

I'm Feb 26 with Dr Garcia, I can't wait either!

I have no plans to keep my wls a secret but I'm definitely playing my cards close to the vest until AFTER the surgery. I have only told two of my sisters and my boyfriend. All are VERY excited for me and supportive of my decision both to have the WLS AND to do it in Mexico. At first the BF was wanting me to wait another year and just save the money and have it locally but then when he read the research with me about Mexico, He agreed that Mexico was the better decision.

I know there will be PLENTY of naysayers and frankly I just don't want to deal with them so I haven't told them.... There will always be those who will feel that WLS is not the "right" way to lose weight and let's not even get started on all the crazy opinions people have on Medical Tourism.

Only my husband, mother, and first cousin know! Thats it! Thats enough...plus im going alone..personally this is a journey I want to take alone..me.myself..and I...husband kind of doesnt want me to go...mother has even gotten motived to check into the sleeve her locally because jer medicare covers it, she has seminar coming up and then,an,appointment....super excited for her....
