GA Girl Best in the World

REDHEAD ... THANKS FOR MAKING ME Giggle!!!!. THIS PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT ... NO POLES OR TRICK IN MY FUTURE ... SHE SEEMS AT THIS POINT TO BE ON BORED, VERY SUPPORTIVE AT THIS POINT MY COUPLE DAYS OF COOLING OFF AND NOT ANSWERING HER CALLS DID THE TRICK ... SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE THE FRIENDSHIP... SHE HAS EVEN BOUGHT ME SOME Protein AS IT WAS ON SALE... FOR NOW SHE'S ON BOARD... WE WILL SEE AFTER I START TO LOSE WEIGHT!!! love her to piece and praying that she finds her own break through as she is very lonely ... and i thinks losing weight will give her more confidence to get back and start dating again.... thanks wendy for lifting me up in prayer and i'll be doing the same for you ... thanks so much... DENISE

that's so great to hear.... at least now you have someone to share your journey with ... best of luck to you both ....

hey kelly what mg are you on????

thanks everyone for chiming in ... LisaM great minds must think a like because that exactly the way i feel... I support my friends even if I don't like the choices they make as well... only time will tell if the new on board attitude will hold up... she on board for now or at least not saying negative stuff... i'm praying for her... hoping that she also ends her life long battle with weight.... this was a very hard choice for me to make i've been wanting this for over 2 years...i'm terrified of surgery... plus before i got the sleeve hubby and i want to have another baby ...as you can imagine she had a problem with that too. i'm so very happy with my decision..my baby is 10 months old as of yesterday and he's handsome and sweet just like his father and brother ( age4).. baby birthing behind me ...now i'm ready to focus... on being healthier and happier ... and enjoy my family and FRIENDS ...

Mel, i hope you enjoy your vacation... have enough fun for too...

thanks so much for all the replies ... there is so much support on here... took you guys advice and she apologized ... said that this was not worth losing my friendship over ... but if she starts up again i will have no choose but to move on ... without her ... hard enough without all the drama ... i only chose to tell her and my husband .. because i already knew my other family member would react horribly... and even though i knew it would take time for her to come around I was truly hoping she would be there and support me as i have done her over the years ... anyway for now things seem to be moving in a more positive direction ... for now ... i haven't had the surgery yet ... hope that doesn't change after surgery... Thanks everyone for the really great advice......

congrats ..baby girl... I'm praying you have a successful surgery ....god bless!!!! I'll be praying for you ...keep us posted.....

where to began....???? ok so i was visiting my best friend ( who is very opinionated)... so she has had a hard time accepting that i'm getting vsg. we have struggled with our weight together up and down together i have always been the heaviest one as i'm several inches shorter than her... i wrote a very long email telling her of my decision to move forward with the surgery... well this weekend ... while at her house she said that the sleeve was an ABOMINATION ... my jaw hit the floor and my husband looked at her and said an abomination ... she always come out her mouth all crazy ...but deep deep deep down she is very loving and caring she always there for me and supports me ...i really don't know how to take this... i really don't have time for such negativity in my life... for once i really need to just focus on me staying positve, healing, and my weight loss... she has been saying before that you can do it on your own you don't need surgery... she says i just want to see you at least work out on your own first ... she says i just need to see you do something before surgery on your own....another time she said if you're going to get it you better work it ... very mixed signals!!!!.... right??? i talked to my husband who is super supportive of me.... about her actions and he feel like i do ... i don't owe her anything... he has watched us kill ourselves in the gym and diet together to the point of starvation and gain all the weight back plus together... i think now it's time to step back away from the friendship and focus on me... ok ...so am i just being super sensitive????? ..and just need to let this go or what...??? help i need a second option on this.....

After months and months of researching to go to Mexico .. Where in GA are youu??? Are you going through insurance or self pay ? I'm self pay and going to Mexico Like lots of other woman from this site... The sleeve is new here in the states but they been performing it in Mexico for years ... Good luck and you can PM me anytime.....
