I've been thinking about weight loss surgery for much longer than my family knows. So I can't blame them when they think I am making a "spur of the moment decision". The fact is, I want this for me and my health. I was called selfish yesterday and I said "you are right, I want to feel better, I want to be healthier, I want this for ME".
I am so excited about upcoming surgery that it's hard to think about anything else. My surgery date is April 6, 2016. My wife an I had a major talk last night. I don't have much support in my decision to go to Mexico. Everybody says to wait a year, or "just exercise and eat better". I told my wife last night that I feel like I am dying in a fat suit. I have several medical problems because of my weight and it scares the crap out of me. I don't want wait a year or more to have this surgery. I want to feel better now.
Last night my Dad called and I expected him to give me the same lecture. AMAZINGLY, he said "It's your decision, it's different, but if you have done your research, go for it"!!. I can't explain how this made me feel. I was so thankful and it allowed me to get excited about April 6. My Dad has even volunteered to go to Mexico with me now. I am still trying to get my passport renewed and my flight tickets set in stone, but I am moving forward!!!!! Take care everybody
