I've posted before and have gone back and forth with this decision, but after a lot of research and pm's to a member here who's had it, I'm having the surgery 3/12/08.
I'm excited, and scared - but I feel it's the best way for me.
I've lost and gained weight all my life ( 2 or 3 people at least
) but I always gain it back and then some.
My husband was a tall, big boned man - and was morbidly obese. He died at 49 from a massive heart attack. I've decided I don't want to die that way. I've been afraid since he died that the same thing would happen to me and I just can't let that happen.
I want to have grandchildren and be a grandma. I want to watch them be born and grow up.
I have to do something to help myself, so I'm having the RNY.
