It is perfectly normal to be scared spitless!!! It is a big deal! It is being put under anesthesia and having your life changed.

BUT----in my opinion and experience----it is SOOOOO worth it!!

I don't know how old your son is, or your Mom for that matter, and of course they love you as you are. I am sure they each have issues, and you love them just the same.

But just allow yourself to imagine a life without obesity controlling it! A life where food is not your first thought. See in your mind yourself at your sons football game, standing and cheering, without being self conscious of it! See yourself going out to dinner with your Mom and sister, and being shown to a booth, and just sliding in, without worrying if you will fit, or how tight it will be---instead there will be room between you and the table.

Fast forward to your sons graduation, and see the pictures that will be taken, of him with his arm around your shoulder, and you a thin woman--a healthy woman, ready to face the world!

There are so many times with my weight I wanted to do something or go somewhere that I let my weight stop me. Add to that the serious medical issues I was facing. My weight in one way or another was in the way----and it was compromising my health.

I am healthy now! I go places, I took my granddaughter to a public swimming pool! I am proud of what I have done to take control.

No one knows how life is....until they too have lived it as a fat person. And I fully believe for some of them, they may be ok with that, I was not. I tried dieting----I succeeded a few times. Until I quit dieting, and then get the heck outta the way, the weight flew back on!

I have been going through some health issues lately, had to have an unrelated surgery, so I have been very lazy with my band. I have not gained anything! I am not in a panic because I just sit tight, the band is there, waiting to help me get the rest of the weight off---but for now, it has proven to me, that mainetenance is going to be equally successful!

Get ready to run your race! You may not have 100% support right now----but I bet when you cross the finish line your Mom and Son will be there, more proud of you than even you can imagine!!!

You sound well prepped for the appt. tomorrow! Good Luck, keep us posted!
