Getting closer!
$15,000
Got an appointment with the surgeon and dietician. Had to wait until January for mt HSA to start again. My appointment is on Jan 3rd which means I should get a surgery date soon to follow that!
I also told a work friend about my surgery which I had been nervous to do, and she had also been thinking about WLS. So now I am helping her move through the process.
I am still nervous about telling my boyfriend's kids. We live together. The kids are 14 and the other is 20 and her boyfriend lives with us, which makes things for me feeling a little more uncomfortable. Anyway, they are going to know I am getting surgery, but I am afraid they will be judgemental and not understand. I am also afraid this will somehow set a "bad" example for the 14 year old who is already impressionable about eating and weight already. These are tricky waters. Any advice helpful.
