You are on the right site for support yetsoalike. Some times it takes our family time to see that this was the very best discion for us. Keep sharing your feeling with us.. Good luck.

I don't have any support from my mother either. I've developed a support group for me consisting of friends, this site and two co-workers. This works for me. You need to know that, even if your mother doesn't come around there will be other people to help.

Don't Worry!!!!!you have us. We are your Support...so get positive and enjoy the ride to weight loss....it works.

We are all one big happy lapband family here and lots of information on what or what not to do. Remember this is for YOU. We can support you through this so, come aboard and enjoy the ride. Ken

Hi there, I'm new here. I just wanted to chime in and say that hopefully your mom will come around. If not, this is your decision and your life. I'm not planning on telling my own mom because I predict her to be judgmental and the attitude that I'm "taking the easy way out." I wish I could tell her and get the support that I need, but I don't think that's what I would get. I do fear her finding out after the fact, that she'll feel hurt, etc. So I'm glad you were able to tell your mom and that you're "free" and don't have to keep up with a lie. She might just need some time to process it all....
