My primary Dr has recomended that I think about getting the surgery and I am scared to have it. Part of me wants to have it bad so that I can get healthy for my kids. But the other part of me is scared to have it becuase is would be surgery. I am over 270lbs and I am about 5'8" tall. My BMI is at 41 and I am considered extermly obese. My friends and family don't look at me like I am obese and that is good but I feel it and I don't want to be this way any more. I remember in high school being at a lower weight and gaining all of it in college and after I had my kids. I have been working on weight loss for the past four years now and it is extermly hard. I want what is best for me and my family and I want to be around for a long time. I know this is not a cure all but a another tool to use in my weight loss journey. I am hoping to find some friends and support her to see if this is the right decision for me.
