Fight

I understand now why so many of you want your op private and don't tell everyone. I told everyone and I even have a blog for it, but know I find myself defending my decision at every turn. People are not well inform about this surgery and they have so many misconceptions and thoughts behind it. It's like a battle for me now. People keep saying to me "you don't need it" or "you can die" or why don't you just do this and that. I'm getting a little sick of it, defending this has become my work. Even some of my relative have turn against me. "If you lost 25 pounds on your own you can so more" they have no idea what really goes into this, they have no idea why are we doing this, they are clueless on why we NEED this. But as long as I know, I guess I can keep fighting and eventually win my own battle. If it were so easy don't you think I would of been skinny already!? I mean how hard is to go and find information before you go judging a person.


UPDATE:
I also got my Cpap machine yesterday. I tried it out for 5 hours last night but I couldn't fall asleep. I took it off, fell asleep, woke up and used it for a few hours before waking up completely   I am hoping tonight its a better night and that I am getting used to it.
