support?

Dec 26, 2016

I am rather new to this site.  My first appointment with the surgeon is January 6th, my birthday!  I thought it would be one to remember!  I am concerned as I don't really have a support group, my family and I do not talk, but I do have a few co-workers that are supportive, but they also have their own lives.  I'm not sure I will have anyone to go to the hospital with me.  Can I do this?  I weigh 350 #, and know this is what I need.  Today I'm just feeling overwhelmed and depressed.  I'm reading all I can, and am uplifted by all your success stories, but did you do it without a lot of support?  Am I crazy for wanting to change my life without solid support?  There is one support group in the town I'm in, they meet once a month, and hope to go in January.  Thanks to this site, I know there is other people going through what I'm going through.
