bee13 44 Posted March 6, 2013 I'm on April first, so my countdown is really ticking and I'm starting to get really anxious. Part of me is happy and part is like, what am I doing? I'm going to cut part of my stomach? I'm going alone to a foreign country to purposely hurt myself (well, temporarily). I know it's for the best but I am still anxious.

cherrytree15 78 Posted March 7, 2013 Hoorrrrraaaayyyy! Hi April Sleevers. I'm April 16, in MX. 5'2, 205 lbs. I just want to get it over with, I have tried MANY other things and I am just miserable. I want to be healthy and right now, I'm not. Just bloated and disgusted. Funny thing is people are like your not that big. Really? Cause my BMI is 37.5, I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. So thanks but I want to take control now before it gets any worse. According to the Dr.'s, I am Obese - Class 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen.D 10 Posted March 7, 2013 I here you Cherrytree! I am 5'3' and 215, and sometimes I ask myself if I am big enough to have this surgery. Then I remind myself how different life will when I'm 80-100 pounds lighter. I haven't told anyone except my husband and kids. I feel like I should tell my family (parents, siblings, in-laws) because they're pretty supportive and we have a good relationship, but I'm worried that they will tell me not to have it done. So, I'm waiting until I have an actual surgery date booked to spring it on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
