Support

So what is supporting someone going through this type of surgery?!  Is it just listening when you need to talk about pros and cons or just saying they support you and let you do it? Asking questions about the surgery and what type is best?  I just feel like the one place I need the most support from isn't there.  Why does that not surprise me though?  Well at least I know everyone else around me does and when someone thinks you can't do something, only makes you want to prove them wrong. Right?!

I Qualify...

So yesterday was my first appointment with the doctor.  I'm a low risk patient so I can chose either bypass or lapband.  With the bypass, you can lose a lot more weight quickly but the lapband is more gradual and will make you accountable for doing your part in losing the weight.  I think I already have my mind made up though.  I don't want the quick fix... I want the one that will teach me and have more monitoring of my progress.  Also.... do I really want to do this surgery to than have to deal with other body imagine issues with the excess skin?!
