Those awkward moments wont last long and before you know it you will be so open! My boss knows and he is one of my biggest cheerleaders, which had lead me to tell the UPS guy, new hires, and the co-workers at my other job. Lol., its so funny how open I have become. Youll do just fine and remember if you ever need any support youve the board and me! =0)

I think I'm gonna go down the RNY path. I just made some initial appointments with my physicians and a psychologist to start the process. Still nervous and timid about all this. I think it's more that I'm scared for social reasons...but how stupid is that, right? I'll be healthy, I'll be skinnier. I might have some awkward "oh, you had surgery..." moments but in the end I'LL BE HAPPY.

I actually wanted to have the surgery earlier than I did but I chickened out. Im glad I waited, it was almost a year, because I think I was deff. more mentally prepared for everything. Ive been looking into bypass/lapband since I was about 18. I personally chose the bypass over the lapband because with my eating habits and the type of person I am (all or nothing) it worked better for me. If I had to do it again tomorrow, I would be at the hospital in a heart beat with a smile on my face! Have you chose a surgery yet?

Thanks for the comment! Any advice you can give me as to why/when/how you decided to have your surgery?

Hi There. Good luck with whatever choice you make! Your a beautiful girl no matter what!!
