Well, I have got my date - August the 14th!!! Felt so exited and like I could conquer the world yeaterday after getting my date through but after a conversation with my mother in law this morning I feel like iv had my stuffing knocked out of me...
She thinks I am ruining my life and that I will never be able to eat again... she put "negative experiences of gastric bands" into google and is now convinced im doomed...
Understandably she is worried about my kids seeing me sick or struggling but this will be short term wont it?? I have tried to explain that I will be able to eat but just not the volume I am used to but her answer was "well just do that anyway and il weigh you every week"
I love her to bits but she has really has brought every doubt and fear I have over the whole process to the forefront again - bad timing as I need to pay my deposit today!!!???!!! It has really put me off telling people about the surgery now, I dont want to lie to people but I certainly don't want to be subject of debate and/or worry when this is such a huge decision for me anyway...
