Nerves, but not why you'd think.

Mar 14, 2014

I am really, very excited to begin this journey, as overwhelming as it seems, but I am still facing nerves. For one, my family, more specifically my mom, is very against WLS. I think it's because of the people in my family who've had RNY but were unable to maintain their weight loss. Also, because my mom has a real issue with anesthesia(almost dying on the table twice with a hysterectomy and, more recently, her systems failing after a routine gall bladder surgery) and I'm sure they're afraid of the same thing happening with me. I can't really blame them, I'm a little nervous about that part too. I know that there's a chance that I'll need my mom's help post-op, but I really don't know how to tell her about my decision. I guess, after I begin the required 7-month program with my GM, I'll have a few months before I have to bring it up...but she's going to know. We're pretty in tune with each other, and she's going to know if something is bothering me. *sigh* I guess I should tell her sooner rather than later.
