So, this weekend, I talked to some of my support group; my mom, my dad, my sister. I asked them what they'd think about me having bariatric surgery. They all were super supportive, and said that they didn't care how I did it, but that they wanted me healthy.
To be honest, even before taking to them, I had made up my mind. I'm choosing life. I want to be healthy for my self, my husband, and my daughter. So, I'm choosing to have the surgery. Since my appointment is on Thursday for the seminar, I don't know for sure if the doc will agree, but, my OBGYN thinks it's a good idea, and she's totally down to earth. So, I'm sure the surgeon will agree.
I started talking to a friend who had surgery with the same surgeon I'll be seeing, and she said that it only took about three months to go under the knife, which is much sooner than I expected. She also said that if I had surgery by August, I should be ready to go on my cruise in November. So, if the surgeon also agrees with that, I may have the surgery before the cruise, rather than after, which again is a big surprise. The same friends said that she went back to work a few days after surgery, which is good, because if I do it before the cruise, I may not have enough time off for the cruise if I have to take more than a week off. I guess we'll just have to see. This is so stuff that I'll have to go over with my surgeon.
