my surgery is coming up 02/23/16 im really scared but its something i really want to do. my dad and brother dont support me at all. they say im taking the easy way out that im lazy that i should just exercise. im 317 pounds 5'9. its so depressing. im the one with the white tshirt. i just want to be healthy and happy again.

@@Yadie2006 Like someone said earlier in the thread....Lordy you are gorgeous!! Now then... about being scared...You have a right to be scared. You're about to embark on something you have only read about, or watched videos about. You're going to change your life! Your family will get over it. I am 54. I told my husband and 86 yr old Mom and my big brothers and sister, and all the nieces and nephews that I was having a VSG last year, and they all were like "DON'T DO IT!!" "YOU'LL DIE ON THE TABLE!!" Well, the odds of that happening are super duper low......the odds of me dying in my sleep while Morbidly Obese were very high. Now I am 9 months out, and folks are used to seeing me as a normal sized woman. I am so much healthier, and I have done this to ensure I will have a chance to live a longer life. Girl.....this surgery will save your life. I don't want to talk anyone into doing something they don't want to do, or don't believe in. But I totally believe in this surgery, as someone who has actually done it. Blessings to you.

thank you! i forgot when was the last time i felt pretty! but everyday i get more convince that im making a good decision by doing this surgery. wish me luck i want my life back! sometimes i feel like im dead already. locking my self in my room and not even paying attention to my kids because im not happy how i am. im ready for this. i want to live longer and be the mom my children need! ❤️
