THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HERE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING ALL I KNOW IS THAT I AM 29 DAYS AWAY FROM MY SURGERY AND I AM SCARED TO LEAVE MY CHILDREN BEHIND AT THE SAME TIME I WANT TO BE HEALTHY FOR THEM AND LOSE THE WEIGHT!!!

First things first, take a deep breath. Yes surgery can be very scary and yes sometimes there are complications but if you are well informed and you fully trust that you have a competent surgeon that will do everything in his power to take care of you, you shouldn't worry about it to much. Of course there are always thoughts in the back of your mind that make you second guess your decision but you are doing this to be a better mom to your kids and just over all a better you.

I look at it this way, the rates of something going really wrong are slim to none. Saying that you don't want the surgery due to the "what ifs" is like saying I won't ride in a car just in case I get into an accident or I'm not going to cross a street because I might get hit. As long as you are educated on what to expect and your doctor has been thorough with you, go for it with your head held high and don't look back. Your kids will have a better life because their mom will be happy and healthy.

My surgery is on Friday and I have butterflies like crazy but I know in my heart of hearts it is what I HAVE to do in order to live my life to the best of my ability. I hope that everything goes smoothly for you and if you ever feel the need to talk message me directly. Hope to hear from you soon.
