Hi, nice to hear from you all.
I am in Hamilton, about 45 min from Toronto KristiK. And no, I haven't gone for a consultation. My husband also thinks I'm crazy, 1: to have surgery, 2: to think that spending that much $ is reasonable when all you have to do is "stop eating crap, and get out and exercise more." (Note: he did not say those words EXACTLY, but that is what he thinks).
Majj, we don't have anything like that here, would be nice though. And Vickster50B, I could pull off the payments (how much are they, BTW?), but right now the problem is with my husband. He doesn't understand that I have given so much of myself to him and our daughters (10 & 5) over the years, combined with childhood abuse from my father, that I feel defeated, and that I have ignored my needs for so long that I can't find a way to start taking care of me.
Ah. Very frustrating.
