This surgery was first and foremost so that I can live a healthy life and be able to do things with my kids and be alive to see their children. I was at the store with my daughter one day and a boy-friend of hers and his mother were walking in front of us and my daughter commented how pretty his mom was. Of course, she was thin but she had regular clothes on and her hair in a pony tail. Then someone at school asked my daughter if her Mom was fat? Why she would ask that is beyond me but my daughter told me. I didn't want to be the butt of the kids' jokes and I want my children to be proud of me. I felt that I was not creating a healthy role model for my kids. Also, my DH kept telling me that I was unhealthy and that he was worried about me. All that was enough to make the decision for surgery. I hear people talking crap about me know and how I did something drastic because I have a weak mind and no willpower. Well, this whole process takes both so that person can bite me. lol
