I have had 3 family members that have had wls, bypass, band over bypass and band to sleeve , so I have seen the ups and downs and have a lot of support from my sisters. I have a bmi of 31, so am a self pay but I just can't get the weight off and never feel full. I have researched and been on this site for 4 months and keep hearing the same mantra...the only regret is that they didn't do it sooner.
I promised myself I was not going to tell my son, because I didn't want to hear the judgement... and....I told him (that I was considering it, I actually have surgery scheduled) just in case my husband had to call him if I had any issues in the hospital....What was I thinking... "try to hire a personal trainer, go on Lindora again, you are going to have shortened bowel syndrome and chronic diarrhea, you might die, your doctor just wants a Ferrari payment".....and...he is a doctor. My sister asked me...are you crazy, were you drinking? (I don't drink).
Now I am scared. I will go through it if for no other reason than I already paid. If I was going under for plastic surgery or a colonoscopy or a wisdom tooth removal no one would tell me I might die. What was I thinking??
