Just got a approved for surgery today, so excited! I haven't really told anybody I was considering surgery to help me loose weight. So today I was in such a good mood, I decided to tell a family member I was considering the wls. Big mistake, the first words out of her mouth was, "don't do it, you don't want look like star jones do you" I laughed but I was really hurt and scared what people/family are going to think of me. I know I shouldn't worry about what others think because I'm doing this to save my life. I really wish I hadn't said anything.

Very informative article, thanks for the link.

Thanks! I've been approved but I don't have a date yet. I'm hoping to be sleeved by the end of July. Will keep everyone posted. Good luck to you

That good to know, I'm hoping this surgery has some positive effects on health, especially my diabetes. My mom passed away at the young age of 42 due to complications of diabetes. This is my true reason for wanting to have the surgery. I feel like a ticking bomb, if I don't intervene now! Thanks for your comment. Congrats on your weight-loss!
