Girl I can totally relate. When my surgery kept getting postponed, I thought it was a "sign" that maybe I shouldn't do this. I was feeling like I was being selfish and that maybe I should just be focusing on my family and put me on the back burner. It took my husband to sit me down and help me realize that yes I might be the one who will be getting skinnier, but the entire family would be reaping the rewards of a healthy happy mom. I would be around for years and years longer just because of the surgery.

Yes, it is for your benefit that is true, but everyone else in the world who loves you will get to enjoy you! You will have more energy to go out and do things with people, you will not be so self conscious (if you are now) and you will just be able to let loose and be the woman that you are... only sexier if that is even possible
