Having Doubts!

[TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280]

I will turn 44 exactly one month before my surgery. If I have known the impact I would feel now' date=' I would have pushed through 7 years ago when I first thought about it. I might have been able to have a second child, felt confident enough to have a bigger wedding, and not been sick so much. You do it when it feels right, but I wish it was as readily available as it is now, when I was in my 20's.[/quote']

Everything happens for a reason. I honestly only wanted 1 child. After 10 years of being a mother to one god bless me a second time & 14 months later a 3rd time. I then closed the factory I'm not mother goose & having more then 3 it's not for me.

Go for it! I'm 352 and I am in the same boat. Nothing works. And mostly because I am morbidly obese.

It is a very personal choice, but I can say I have no regrets. I was 258 at my highest weight. My hypothyroidism made it nearly impossible to loose weight and keep it off. After yo yo ing all my 20s and 1/2 my 30s, I decided on the surgery. I didn't have health problems... Yet, but mobility was becoming a factor. At 35 I felt limited in what I could do. I am only 6 days post op, but already feel pretty good and I love looking forward to things I will be able to do. Surgery is no joke. It is a big deal and the first few days, I felt like crap. Even then, though, I kept focused on what will be. If you are not ready, postpone the surgery, learn more about it, and make your choice when you are ready. Good Luck!!
