I'm going to do the surgery! I attended my 1st information meeting and have decided that I will be having the surgery at Clarion North  and I'd like for  Dr. Mattar to do my surgery. I talked to some of my friends, and my children and significant other. Right now, only my friends that I have told are supporting me, my children would like for me to try another year to lose weight without surgery. They don't understand it's not just about losing weight! It's about getting my health back, elminating my diabetes and other health related issues I have due to diabetes; but a promise is a promise, and I'm a woman of my word! So, the surgery won't happen until December 2009, but in the meantime I will be going through the necessary steps on making it happen. I won't be going back on my promise, because I will be doing what needs to be done to work toward my surgery. I hope in time my children will understand the reason why I'm doing this. I've told them that having diabetes, is worse than having the surgery. They are fearful that I will die in surgery. I told them having diabetes will kill me if I don't do something about it NOW! Maybe I can get them to attend an informational session with me so that they will understand better why I'm doing this. I feel this is the ONLY thing that is going to help me.  
Having my family/children support me is very important to me. But, if I don't have their support, I'll still have the surgery. My best friend is going to support me so that's good. It will be better when my children come on board. .
