My family were definitely skeptical about the surgery because they thought I would have complications or die. I listened to there concerns and continued on my journey. I had to do the six month supervised diet and as that time went by I researched and have been learning as much as I can about the surgery and really anything about nutrition to beable to make myself more successful. The more I learned I talked to them about all of it and answered there concerns with facts. Now they are all on board and are excited for me to get surgery. I get surgery Oct. 26.
