I am sure everyone on here has some sob story or another. I won't bore you with too much of mine. I have been battling my weight since I was a teenager, lack of self esteem made it worse. I recently hit my heaviest weight at 282.5 lbs. This was one week after my pre-op consult. I decided to do the surgery when a very good friend of mine decided it was the right thing for her. I started the process shortly after she got her approval from OHIP and then dug my heels in with resistance until she actually had her surgery. I was (and still am) terrified. Not of the actual surgery. Not of the pain. I am so scared of what my life is going to be after I have this done. I barely know who I am now, who will I be when I no longer have the weight to hide behind?
My surgery date is Dec 10. This is coming up extremely fast. My mother and her boyfriend will be coming with me. Thank God I will be too stoned to care where I am after surgery.
