Well at this moment I am getting grilled about why I am getting the surgery. I am holding my own tho! It is on an Icelandic chatroom were ppl know each other alot even outside the net. Some are asking how can I go thru with this when it is so scary. Telling me I should try first overeaters anonymous, greysheeters and lchf diet. Even one who had the band and is failing a bit at it is criticising my decicion, what is that??? I am mostly annoyed at that girl, just because she did not do the work and is therefore failing does not mean I will not. I have done ten times the research and everything then she ever has before I took my very well informed decicion.

Great thing about chat rooms' date=' You can make a statement and leave. Just something like: Wow, I thought friends would give me some support, especially ones that have had WLS. Not my fault you chose one that didn't work for you. I chose this because I CAN"T dip 2 bags of oreos in coffee and wash em past that band. When you want to support my decision, feel free to message. Until then: feel free to go to judgmental arseholes anonymous. Thanks![/quote']

Good one!!! Love it!!

My mother does not say anything and supports me, but I do sence that she is worried. I am sure that it is just that with your mother, just expresses it in a different way than mine does.

I've only told close family...no one else needs to know. As least that's how I feel.
