Jean sorry your family is not behind you. But you have to do this for you first and not them. I know it will be hard but you can. They may just be scared to lose there mom to. You can't take care of your family if your not well yourself. Good luck and follow your dreams because they will come true.

Jean, You Go Girl! As they say "Walk a mile in my shoes and then tell me how just one step feels." Your sons will come around. Just give them time. God speed for your recovery.

Dear Jean~~~~CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on your upcoming WLS; it is truly a life altering, life affirming process and I wish you the very best of all of it. May God watch over you and inspire your surgeon to do great things for you. I pray that your procedure is uneventful and your recovery complete. Be strong, be well, be happy, be blessed.

I wanted to thank everyone who has posted here or sent e-mails. To say that my family is not behind the surgery would be a huge understatement. Out of four adult sons, two have responded, one with the phrase, "Oh that is nice, will it be outpatient?" The third is so very adamantly opposed to the surgery that he is severing contact with me. The fourth is...I have no idea. But YOU, my WLS family, are constant, and behind me, and darnit, I want to feel GOOD again. I want to be able to walk without stopping every minute or so to rest. I want to clean house again to MY satisfaction. I want the life I have never had in a lifetime of dieting and morbid obesity. Yep, morbid obesity even as an infant and toddler. So Tuesday at 7:30 AM, by the grace of God, I begin my new life and I am not looking back. Thank God for all of you. Jeanne
