My story is very similiar to most others. I have been over weight all my adult life. I guess food is a crutch. I was successful in quiting smoking 4 years ago. I just have not been able to gain the upper hand with the food addiction. I like me. I would like a better me. I want to be feel comfortable in social situations, traveling and not have my weight limit my choice of activities. I am very nervous about surgery, I can't believe I have made a choice to have an elective surgery. I feel its certainly the ultimate choice for weight loss. My husband is supportive but apprehensive. He also has weight issues and feels this choice will have dramatic impact on our lives. I think he is right. He will not have his eating partner. I hope it will lead both of us into healhier choices
My husband is the love of my life. We met late in life. He is one of the most kind, loving and supportive people I have ever known. He pampers me and I feel like a princess. It's a bit embarassing. He went to my initial consult with me, his choice. He asked alot of questions and expressed his concerns. I love him for being so involved. He is my life. I have 2 wonderful adult sons and he treats them like his own.
I'm usually the person all others in my life come to for advice, help and comfort. I'm usually always confident and thus I find my nervous thougts a different arena for me. I find this forum helpful, because I can share my most inner thoughts without being embarassed. I thank all my new OH friends.
