That is about how I felt this morning, and I will be sooo embarrassed the first time I have to meet with my DR for anything....but...I had to do it this morning, I was too much of a mess. I wanna learn to like what I got, yanno? LOL

That is what my hubby is most concerned with. I hope it doesnt happen that way. It all felt so rushed, you know? It wasn't even my idea to start the process- it was my bariatric surgeons, and it all just took it's own life from there....If I ever reconsider, I will go through it at my own pace...

Fawn,
Better to NOT have the surgery if you were having a panic attack.
If you want to, you can always reschedule the surgery or not.
It's all about YOU.
Your DH will get over it.

They did offer to reschedule....so the door is open, but I need to take some time first before I even think about it. Thanks for the support Lisa!

Dear Fawn,
Wow, what courage it must have taken for you to stop the process when so far along....good for you to recognize when something isn't right in that moment and being strong enough to act accordingly. As you said, I find that I am picking apart all the things about my body that are still "wrong", and it seems like if I don't get that in check, the list could go on and on. My husband encourages me to be okay with being 53, to "grow old gracefully" and I think that there is an inherent beauty in the ability to "grow old gracefully" and with confidence....that is what I will aim for instead of trying to "fix" things with the knife. Don't get me wrong, the desire to take away years thru ps is strong and we all want to look our best....but the best thing of all is peace of mine, being alive to live and love those in our life , to smell the roses.......so I congratulate you on doing what you needed to do for now :)) Good luck on whatever path you take in the future...you are to be commended....BRAVO!!!! Lynette
