So I bit the bullet today and told someone I work with about having bariatric surgery. She mentioned to me her doctors have recommended it to her. The next thing out of her mouth really shocked me. She said she knows she can do it by eating get right and exercising. Do people really think that having bariatric surgery is a miracle and you wake up the next day skinny. Don't they realize it us a tool in the journey and you still have to eat better and exercise.

Just had to vent...

I've told people in my life, and I have had very kind positive feed back. My favorite one came from my ex-sister in-law. She said; "you've struggled with you're weight since I've known you." I know how hard you've tried, and I pray that all works out well for you. Good for you!

Another person asked me if I met the required weight, for surgery. I explained that it also has to do with family history and co-morbidity. And she said; I was taking a responsible step for my health.
