The Big Decision

Oct 25, 2013

I have been thinking about having bariatric surgery for years, and have considered all the options and decided almost a year ago that I want to have the VSG.   My husband has been very evasive whenever I've brought up the topic, so I've assumed that it scares him.  I put the question regarding my having surgery to him seriously twice, and have dropped it since not getting any meaningful responses.

Yesterday I got a call from one of the sources that I inquired with via the internet regarding weight loss surgery.  I told them that we have a lot going on and I'm not ready to set any dates yet.  When I got off the phone, my husband said that he thought now would be a great time, as we are in a transition period with our business anyway.

I asked him if he was serious, and he said absolutely.  Because my insurance excludes all weight loss procedures and therapy, we decided to find out how much it would cost.  I'd actually already looked into traveling to Mexico for surgery, so I suggested that we look into it.  By mid afternoon, he had picked out 2 or 3 surgeons in Mexico he felt comfortable with. 

I got scheduling dates from one already, and I am waiting for scheduling dates from another - hopefully today.  I plan on having the surgery before the end of November.

So here I go......I'm actually on my way to losing weight forever!
