Well, I've been researching this surgery for a few months now and have finally accepted it has become a necessity. With my kids being so young, I want to do something now so when they get older, they won't be teased about having a fat mom. The prospect of having this surgery has brought me unbelievable hope. My doctor agrees with my decision and will provide her approval for insurance to cover the surgery, and I have a tremendous supporter in my mom. I just wish my husband agreed with this. While he is supportive of whatever my ultimate decision is, he feels that I don't need to do this and he loves me exactly the way I am right now. Well and good, but I don't love me the way I am right now.....
Let the journey begin....:w00t:
Well, over 7 months have passed since my first entry. I had my surgery on my son's 6th birthday, 10/21/09. I lost 17 lbs pre-op and have currently lost 30 post. I just had my first fill today, which wasn't as bad as I built it up in my mind to be. I am just worried that there is hardly anything in there. I kind of expected to be hungry all day like I was either. What the heck? I am about 40 lbs away from my goal and I can see it dangling in front of me like a 3 Musketeers bar :cursing:. My will power has gotten me this far post-op. Let's hope this fill kicks in and my tool gives me a little more help!
