Kathy's New Life

When all else fails, if your friend still disagrees just tell her... "This is my decision, between me and God. If you can't understand then we will just have to agree to disagree."

Wow, that is longer than I thought. But you are right. It gives time to really get your head around the lifestyle changes. I am a self professed caffeine addict and I am in the process of weening off of it now. I have done it before but always go back to it. This time is different.

Thanks Susan, I see that your surgery is coming up next week. You must be getting excited and nervous that it is finally here. I wish you all the best and will be looking for your posts on how your process goes.

Hi, My name is Kathy and I am new to this group, site and WLS process. Does anyone know a time frame from taking a Seminar to actually getting the surgery? I have no idea what time frames are for this process. I am blessed and already know my insurance will cover this. I am supposed to hear from the office of the surgeon for my first appt date next week. I am not the most patient person so if I know how long I need to wait I can prepare myself. I have been dealing with hypothyroidism, sleep apnea, insulin resistance, asthma, GERD, Chronic Fatigue syndrome and several other issues. I would be happy to offer info on handling these to anyone who has questions. I am 46 years old and I work from home. I look forward to making some new friends here.

Wow, thank God you were so diligent about getting that surgery fast. My ex-mother-in-law waited and her small lump went to thesize of a grapefruit before they could get to it. She is a 14 year survivor but had a lot of issues and scarring in the process. Getting to it quickly probably saved you a lot of those issues. I hope you still get to go for you sleeve surgery too. I know for me coming to this point took a lot of soul searching and I would hate to have it delayed. Praying for you.
