OK,not sure how to start.I am married with 2 boys 20 and 10.My highest weight was 318 and my weight now is 294. My surgery was scheduled for August 1, but has since been moved to Wed July 25th. I am scared, excited, freaked and overwhelmed. I have been overweight my whole life, my 2 biggest fears are getting Alzheimer's and dying...go figure, I am afraid to die yet I am so overweight I am slowly killing myself. I decided to do this for my health. I know it is the best decision health wise. But honest to god, it scares the hell out of me. I have not told very many people.I have told my mom, my 2 sisters and Dad, and very reluctantly at that. Even telling them I was hesitant to and only did so because I saw no way out of. I have told no friends or coworkers. I am afraid of being judged. Most people hear WLS and think that its the easy way out. You and I know its not, just the getting ready alone is hard work. I have done a lot of research. A years worth of reasearch, took me a year just to decide to do this and what would of normally took someone 6 months,took me a year, as I dragged my heels for the first 6 months before I would actually start the 6 months of weight loss meetings because I was so scared.So 2 years really. But the whole time, I spoke to no-one but my husband and my Mom and one sister a little, the rest was just me. Can you say trust issues...anyways. So I work at a school an I will have about 3 weeks after surgery before I go back, and we will see what happens then. Will I tell friends and family later? I don't know...will care what others think then? I don't know that right now. All I know right now is that its Monday, and Wed. is coming quick.
