A bit sad and worried

[Rogofulm 2,440]

I'll echo what so many others have said. My wife was completely supportive, while my mother was concerned about the surgery. "Can't you give dieting another try?" Look, I've been "dieting" for 48 years. How was that working out? I had diabetes, apnea, asthma, high cholesterol, and borderline diabetes. I told my mother that I appreciated her concern, but that I had made up my mind and I would like her support. Then she got on board. Now, I'm down 110 pounds, ALL of my diseases are gone, and my mom is bursting with pride. As is my wife. It's the third best decision I ever made behind marrying my wife and having a child together. (Oh yeah, quitting smoking was right up there too.) Now, I hope to live a much longer and fuller life with my family. So, if as @@SuperDave suggested, your mom reads this thread, I'd like to tell her that you really need her support right now, and I predict that in a few months she'll be thrilled with her happier and much healthier daughter! Good luck!!!
