Thanks everyone... I do feel a lot better now! I have read a lot about the surgery and of the commitment you have to make with both diet and exercising after the surgery in order to stay healthy. I am so ready to do this! I guess I just needed to know I was not alone, lucky for my friends, they are all in gret shape, but when I told them I was thinking about the surgery, they all thought I was crazy! I think a lot of people right away just think "why can't she just exercise and diet ?'" They have no idea how many diets I have tried and lost some weight only to have the weight come right back and even more! Now it's not just an issue of looking in the mirror and thinking "God, I look terrible, how did I get this big!" Now it's a health issue, with having to take pills for high blood pressure, having sore knees and ankles, and feeling depressed. My poor boyfriend always wants to try and stay active, and here I am telling him "I can't walk that far" -"my feet hurt to much" I can barley walk up our starcase with out being so out of breath! Well anyway, I just wanted to thank all of you for your positive replys. Hopefully my friends will be supportive after the surgery, but it's nice to know there are people here who know just what I'm going through! THANKS!!!!!!
