In 36 days my husband (38 years old) and I (32 years old) will board a plane and head to Mexico for our gastric sleeve surgeries. We will be leaving behind our 8 and 11 year old daughter, and telling NO ONE what we are doing. We have zero family that live within 1000 miles of us and have asked close friends to watch our kids for weight loss meetings and we were very surprised with all the negative feedback that our friends gave to us. We are afraid that if we tell our parents they will say similar things, and we only need positive things at this point in time. My husband and i are both in the medical field and feel that we have made the right choice, and just don't want to hear a peep about it. HOWEVER as a mom I can't help but feel scared about going to Mexico, and about having surgery without preparing everything for the worst when it comes to my children. Fingers crossed that everything works out perfect and that I will be switching out carbs/candy for skinny jeans in no time at all.
