Hope I'm not getting too personal here, but I'm curious as to your position on bariatric surgery.
Do you have any health effects associated with your weight? For example, I know that the high blood pressure and border line diabetes made the surgery worth while fo rmy relative and outweighed any risk. Also, it wasn't just a surgery....she had to sign papers committing to go through an entire program including nutritional and exercise classes, presurgical counseling, and a year of support group meetings, among other things. I think just having the surgery alone would be too scary.....the other things in the program has made it pretty successful for her thus far.
I am glad you are comfortable with yourself and that your husband loves you no matter what. It is sad that some feel the need to have surgery for a cosmetic purpose rather than a health one.
