Your story is very simlar to mine, I have 2 children under 5, no health problems but have over the last 12 months felt aches and pains creeping in. I have been in denial for a long time about how I look but my little girl took some photos of me the other day without me knowing and OMG I look disgusting and much much bigger than I foolishly thought I was, I was sooooo ashamed of myself. I am booked in for a bypass on 21.5.14 and looking forward to not bieng the fattest mom in the school playground :cry:

Because I don't have to do a pre op diet, I'm really not doing myself any Favours with my food. It's like I'm eating things because I'll never be able to eat them again!

I may just be having normal pre op jitters, but these are the things that have been running through my head. - am I mutilating myself as punishment for being so greedy
- will having a sleeve work
- Is it worth paying out every penny I have (and don't have!) for something that may not work
- I know it's not a cure, but a tool; therefore what if I spend all this money, and I still eat just as badly as before and am still fat but skint as well!

Something I won't miss - not being to get in and out my car if someone parks too close!! Grrrrr

Had to let the hand break off my car to roll it back just so I could get in my drivers door.
