How to come to terms with this difficult decision
Hi all...I am new here and looking for a little advice. I am an itelligent person who understands the risks of being overweight vs. the risks of the surgery. NO problem. I am committed to making this decision and changing my life. But every now and then the face of my two beautiful boys (age 2 and 3) are in my head and the thought of death due to this surgery and them growing up without me and not even remembering me brings me to tears.
Everyone can say the usual things "when it is your time" or "Its in Gods hands", but that doesn't remove the heartache of it all.
I commonly ask "When did you go from asking yourself did you do the right thing to I know I did the right thing?" Everyone always says when they woke up in the recovery room. But still I can't find peace with the (small but real) possibility of me not being in my kids life.
Wonderful words of insight are welcome by moms who faced this!!!!
