20 Days Until Surgery. What Will People Think.

I am not asking for nor do I need your approval.  I hope that doesn't sound too harsh.  :)

When my doctor first offered this surgery to me there were several people in my life extremely opposed.  I often hear people tell me that I don't need to lose weight or this is too drastic, etc. 

Being on the radio, I feel like I am a friend to those in the community (for those that allow me to be).  I care about the people I meet in the community and I honestly feel some of them care about me too.  I love it.  With that I will often get their opinions as well.  This is great.  I feel honored that people care about me. 

I do want y'all to know though, that I do feel that this is the right decision for me so I ask that you respect that.  (I have not taken this decision lightly!)

This surgery is a MAJOR life changing decision.  I will surround myself with loving supportive people!  I hope if you are reading this, that is what you will be to me.  :)  And hopefully I can be that for you one day in whatever situation you are in!
