The Road Less Traveled???
Hello, to all my soon to be fellow bandsters! Was just curious if any of you are lacking support by your family and friends like I am? I am 5' 4" 190lbs with a BMI of 39.3.
I am really excited about the surgery but have received nothing but negativety from family and friends. They tell me I should just take the six months and lose the weight myself, it's not safe, your skin will be all stretched out yada, yada,.
Some of them are not so skinny themselves hard to tell where they are coming from. Does anyone have any opinions as to why I am receiving such negativity.
Thanks for letting me vent. Have a nice day!!
