Natalia... very pretty name. Do you have any grandbabies yet? That's one of mine in the picture with me.
It is important to be understood. Those who have not been where we are do not get it, although they think they do usually. I think they try to. But its like anything, .. if you haven't been there, you just do not truly know. You are very welcome for the caring and support!
How is your general health aside from the obesity? Do you have anything going on healthwise that is of extreme concern in your decision to have surgery? I have a lady in my live support group that is 70 years old, and JUST had the surgery 4 months ago. I have another in my group that is in her early 60's that had RNY just 3 months ago. We also have many ladies in this group here having it in thier late 40' to the late 50's. Seems to be a common age for wls.
I know there are definately risks involved, and sure understand your concern. If there is anything I can do to help you through this, please let me know.
You have what? 4 days left until surgery? (I think I recall the 7th as your date?...will look back and see).
If you'd like to call me, we can talk too. Just PM me, and I will give you my number. If you have questions, please share them here. Lots of folks here that have been through it, and you will gain some great first hand insight.
Hugs!
