I have been lurking around these boards for the last three years now, this has been how long I have been considering surgery. I made a commitment to myself this year that this will be 'my year' and that I will lose the weight for the first and last time. I am tired of being obsessed all the time with dieting or with my weight and low self esteem.
Currently I am in the process of confirming dates with Dr. A for surgery in Mexico on March 22nd. I want this so badly however my family is seriously against my decision but I am going to just ignore them because they will never understand the pain I have endured over the last 28 years because of my weight...because of me being fat! $10,000 is a lot of money but I want and need this so much...what sense is money without happiness?
About me: I am 28 years old, single and I am from and live in the Caribbean, currently I am about 255lbs 5'5". My goal is to lose about 70lbs as I naturally have a larger frame, so I dont believe that anything under that weight will look healthy on me. Losing 10lbs causes my collar bones to protrude...lol. I will be racking up alot of miles to travel to mexico...maybe I can earn a free ticket to return for a real vacation after reaching my goal wearing a bikini :P
Not sure if anyone is having surgery with Dr. A during the weekend of the 22nd March, however if there are persons, I would definately like to chat.
I have really found alot of inspiration and information in this forum and on this website...THANKS alot!
A.
