Surgery scheduled for the 27th of September. The nerves are really starting to kick in. I have a step mother that when I told I was doing this surgery turned and asked me," was i really willing to die for my kids to do this surgery?" Well i am sure as any mother would say, no one wants to die during any surgery. i am doing this surgery for my kids, for my health, and for my husband. Reasons for my kids: well first of they are my boys, i would never want to do anything to lose them. I want to be able to keep up with them when they are playing. For my health, I have a labral tear in both hips, as well as, an abnormal growth. For my husband, well i want to look good for him. i want to feel his attraction of wanting me again. see we met when we were both in the military and of course i was at my skinniest since middle school. after getting out of the military and having kids and my health, well i gained quite a bit of it. it seemed from that time, my husband just seemed to be pushing away from me.

now back to my story upon this surgery. ever since i decided to truly do this, many of my family have supported me or have turned away from that support. after what my step mom said, i have had many negative dreams about things happening in the surgery or afterward. i know with my doctors records hes had many good results, but that doesnt mean depending on the individual that it could go wrong. i just dont want to look in a mirror and be disqusted of myself. i try not to look at myself for long if i can help it. i want to gain my self esteem. i never really had one, but id like to get one. i deserve the best and its about time i put myself first. my next blog will be closer to my surgery.nite all

You are not alone...mine is scheduled a day after yours, and have been having negative thoughts about things that can go wrong in the surgery room and leaving my son behind....I'm a single mom, so I'm all he has.

As for family I did not tell anyone but 1 person...she's supportive and have not said anything negative. But I do have bad dreams and think of all that can go wrong...I guess we are human, we have to consider the negative aspects as well but hope for the best. but We CAN DO THIS....nothing about this means we are killing ourselves, we are trying to get better and be better moms by trying to become healthier.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

You need to do this for you first. Then all of your family will see the benefits. You wil be a great role model for the kids and your husband will appreciate your efforts. You just need to get throughthe next few weeks. I had surgery 2 days ago and I am in a lot of pain (gas pain and incision pain) but I know that in a week it will be better and I am off on to a positive journey. Surround yourself with your friends right now. Everything will be fine.
