I have been considering surgery for a while now, but I always say wait until .... Today I called to get an information packet and forms for insurance. Here we go. I am going to do this because I need to change my lifestyle. I'm tired of only half-living and always thinking about how I look to others. I want to be proud to be seen with my family, not trying to hide in the background or being the "loud funny" one to draw attention away from my weight. :thumbup:
