The days ahead of you are full of great possibilities--and life's great unknowns. But the good news is that God holds tomorrow in His hand, and in His unending faithfulness gives you not only strength for today, but bright hope for tomorrow. God bless you as you embark on this new path for health and happiness. Our prayers are with you for a successful surgery and a full recovery!

The most important reason to have this surgery is for you-no one else. Yes, your loved ones will benefit from the surgery by having a healthier you, but if you feel it's the right thing to do, don't feel like you have to justify it to everyone. I purposely didnt' tell people for that very reason. I told one lady at work about 2 weeks prior, her response, "Have you ever tried Weight Watchers?" If people only knew how many things we've tried and many times we've tried them. You'll never be able to convince every one, they'll just have to wait and see the results. It will change you life and it is a commitment that you MUST be willing to make--once you've had it done, there's no turning back, but what a joyous journey it turns out to be!! Best of luck and God Bless!

Hey M! We can all relate to the "not telling" thing. My hubby was NOT thrilled about the idea but once I got more into research and always talking about it, then got him to see my regular shrink then to the consult he is now just as excited (and a tad scared I'm sure) as I am. Good luck with your approval process...remember if they deny....APPEAL! God bless. Jamie

He M! I just wanted to offer some encouragement as far as dealing with the support (or lack of) from family and friends. I am 23yrs old. I had my consultation last Thurs. I was worried about telling my mother, because she has always been on me to join a fitness club & eat healthier. I knew when I told her about this surgery, she would give me a hard time. I didn't tell her about it until the night b4 my consultation. I gave her a little literature to read for herself. Also let her view the video from BTC. She has been throwing out little comments here and there about how I should try colon cleansing, and go to a nutritionist and yada yada yada!! lol Basically, I had to let her know (respectfully lol) that I had my mind made up. That she could tell me a million things to try, but that THIS is what I wanted to do. What I feel is my best chance at being healthy. She doesn't know of the eating bendges I have at night in my room. Or any of my eating habits and how horrible I feel about my weight and lack of energy. I think she has excepted this for the most part. I said all this to say that if you are sure this is what you wanted to do, regardless of many OTHER things your family says you should try, stand firm and let them know they can make all the suggestions they want, but this is what YOU feel is best. Give the rest to God. He has the power to change their minds and hearts!! You be encouraged, and if you ever need to talk, just shoot me an email. Stay Blessed!! And I'll be keeping you in my prayers! Much love to you!!!
