it's all happening!

My aunt agreed to loan/gift me the money for my surgery! Now it's all about filling out the paper work and making the plans!

I've been waiting four years for this surgery and all of a sudden it's here...I don't really know how to feel lol so I keep bursting into tears at random inopportune times! Lol

My only fear is that I'll have it done and I won't even lose any weight....

That's awesome! I wish that my family was supportive like that! Soooo glad that you are able to have the surgery now. who is your doctor?

My aunt is pretty kick ass. I'm only 23 years old and I've been overweight my entire life. She sees me struggling to lose weight...I've been on a constant diet for the last year...and she wants to help me. She is supportive of whatever decision I end up making. I'm kind of leaning towards Dr. Alejandro Lopez-Ortega...and using alighterme as the coordinators....I've researched all over and I keep coming back to them...so hopefully it's good!

Nice! I didn't tell my family. My husband, my mom, and my BFF! Didn't want to hear my brother and sister in law opinion or what they thought

Naturallybad, when I told my brother he asked why I didn't just try diet and exercise lol. He's lucky he's still alive

Congrats tattooed lady! I'm so happy for you!

I'm not telling anyone except my husband and children. This seems like a very personal journey for me. I have always struggled with my weight, and I don't want to answer other people's doubts while battling my own. This is important to me so that I can live my life, not constantly worry about how heavy I am or how unhealthy I am becoming.

My husband is very supportive and my kids are understanding. Unfortunately, my 13 year old daughter struggles with her weight, so she actually told me she is envious. If she is still struggling when she is older, I'll be by her side no matter what she does. If this is successful for me, it may be an option for her in the future.

Maybe once you start to lose weight and become more active..she will start to lose weight as well. I hated struggling with my weight in my teen years...

That's my hope. Congrats on getting everything in order. It's awesome that you have a great support system.
