another newbie

Hello everyone, My mom just resently started her papers for this surgury and is waiting for her approval and i thought it would be a good idea that i get it too .... i am really scared and really scared for my mom too but i really want to do something for myself not for what everyone else wants and i want to do this any one have any good ideas to get my mind off it ???

Serafin I too was concered for my mom,.,. we were origionally looking into the surgery for me, but I chickened out and my mom went ahead and took the lead and had the surgery in september of 2001. Mt grandma also had the sugery in April of 2002 and then me FINALLY in march of this year... you can not be scared of going through the surery.. If you are then you have to think that tommarow you may not wake up because of the weight.. when it is your time that is it. At least if you have the surgery you are going to have a better life style and more happiness then you have ever dreamed,,, not to mention being extremlly healthy! Try now,.. before surgery or you even start your testing to get your self healthy... excesise, read up on surgery and be POSITIVE! Best wishes! -KIM -125 lbs.
