Thank you for all the support. I think the same way about the risks. They are just hey possibility of what could happen, but what will happen is heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes and death if we don't lose the weight. My mom and my son's dad are going with us to have the surgury. Hearing about others his age really helps Shawn to know that he's not the only kid to have gone through this. We watch a lot of YouTube videos and I think we are headed in the right direction. I'm about to pay the deposit and lock in our date. Thank you for openly sharing with me.
