I am booked to see the consultant in November to arrange to get mine done, and when I told my some of my friends and family they were shocked and again said similar to just eat less and exercise more ... but it is hard and I fully understand. My husband was against it at first, but we had a really good heart to heart and I explained I just wanted my life back after raising my children etc. He is now fully supportive and my friends do understand, although my family think I'm stupid for getting it done. Just remember this is for you .... not your family, not your friends ... you! They do not walk in your shoes so be confident and remember why you want this. I am very nervous I must admit which is why I've joined here today to get some moral support.
