I also have two boys.... as sweet as can be... for me, I decided to do this FOR them. Granted, the risk of dying during any surgery is very real. But I also knew, at the rate I was going first of all, I might not make it to their graduation day. Second, I know in my heart, overweight, I'm just not the best mom I can be. Granted, all the love and caring and kindness are always there, but not the physicality, not the running around outside with them, riding bikes, going to the beach. Things like that. And lastly, was when my youngest was made fun of in kindergarten. About his big mommy. Nope... not going to happen to my kids. Life is difficult enough, growing up is painful enough, without me adding to their burdens because I can't control something. I'm taking more risk now, to have less risk later on in life. It works for me, and I'm completely sure of my decision. Also, only YOU know what's right for you. And 99% of people, even those with complications say they wouldn't hesitate to do it again. It changes your life, and therefore, also the lives of your children. Good luck on deciding what's right for you!
