I was wondering the same thing. I go for my first consultation tomorrow. Very nervous!!! Is it worth the risk?Worried, if I'll have the energy to keep with with 3 kids, how will this affect my marriage, how long will it take to recover, will I really have to be out of work for 2 - 4 weeks, what if something goes wrong??? So many questions, it's overwhelming but I'm tired of holding my head down in shame because of my weight. When my husband and I started dated I was around 130. I've almost doubled that weight. I weigh more today than I did at 9 month pregnant. I'm sick of yo-yoing, losing 30, gaining 50. Ive probably lost 300 hundred pounds, only to gain what feels like 500 back over the years. Praying I make the right decision and thankful for this site and the everyone's willingness to share.
