As I read your posts I'm literally enthralled with the story. It is akin to watching a suspenseful movie and sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation. I do hope you continue to keep us updated on your health and appreciate such an eye-opening account of what can go wrong.

  3. Awesome! Ur my sleeve sister! I'll be at the MAR surgery center. Then I'll be at the Reàl Del Rio, which is a super cool hotel. We're gonna be they're till the 18th. What about u? U should join our Facebook group. Lotta support there. If u wanna join it is a private group by invite only. Just send a friend request to april Davis gilley. Also I'm filming the journey at www.YouTube.com/shesstrangelynormal


  4. Sometimes if a woman feels insecure she distances herself emotionally bc if u were to leave her it won't hurt as much. This is one way people (men and women) self-sabotage relationships. "well he's gonna leave me anyway so it may as well be on my terms"

    What she needs is to be reassured Ur in this together. Regardless of weight loss or gain.

    You need to make up your mind whether you truly want to be together or whether this honeymoon phase with your weight loss is going to turn Ur head at other girls that pay you more attention.
