I am 46 years old, 210 lbs, 5'7" and I shared my upcoming surgery with one friend who felt like she needed to talk me out of it because I have lost weight so many times before (and gained it all back and then some each time) and I'm "not that big" and she didn't think I should go through that kind of pain to loose weight. Now I am a little less excited about it, but more determined than ever to have this surgery - the date is set for December 27th. I just don't know how to explain the health benefits of this surgery to other people, and after that experience with my well meaning but overbearing friend (did I mention she is thin?), I have just stopped sharing with anyone other than the two people closest to me: my husband and mother support my decision. My pre op diet starts on the 13th and I am ready for this. My only small concern is follow up because I am having the surgery in Mexico - far away from my home in New Hampshire. I will follow the pre and post op diet completely. I am now cutting back on caffeine. Did I mention that I am ready for this? I am looking forward to the positive life changes in my future. :-)

i agree with Lisa. I bet she is Fat also... Your fat friends dont want you to becomet thin, they want you to stay fat like them.. you know a member of the herd. They are losing a eating buddy and every time they look at your success it will be a reminder of their failures. Your thin friend aren't any better... They don't want you thin because your now competition for attention in your group. You have to do this for you and only you.... if you feel this is the right thing to do.... do it. While your in Mex... drill them for as much information as possible. Maybe even a dr. in your area that can agree to do some follow up when needed.
