Hi Shanalee!
Congrats on your decision! You are very lucky to have your hunny going with you! What a blessing that you can share this with your soul-mate.
I had my surgery last Friday - everything was a perfect 10! The Dr's, Staff, Hotel everything went perfect! I too got alot of raised eyebrows by my decision to go to TJ, but I was so desperate for change and I did not have the power within myself to make the change. Food became my drug after my only child, my son, 22years old passed away, he drowned with a friend at the beach. I self medicated. I finally reached the point to climb out of the hole I had dug for myself, It truly was the best decision I could have made. I finally feel like I have hope and a reason to live - may sound crazy that this surgery could been seen as such, but it was my life saver, to finally do something for ME!
I wish you all the best hun! Stay strong & stay focused on your decision, let NO_ONE stand in the way of climbing the mountain of Success. Take care!
