No one understands!

I would tell them that you have researched it, that you and your doctors think it's the best course of action for your health issues, and that you have told them so they know what is going on with you, not because your decision is up for discussion.

Then I tell them as my family they can either support me or shut up but being negative and trying to talk me out of it aren't acceptable.

I've had wls and still i would never recommend it......so, opinions work both ways

Thank you so much. I started my pre op and now Im getting excited, nervous but excited. Your right, I need to be happy in this body.
