cushy

Thank you so much, it does feel annoying, lol, but I indeed see the blessing behind it all, I have a son that needs me and that's more important than what I desire.

Thank you so much, I believe that as well, I will remain optimistic although a little scared.

Thank you that means a lot. I'm really anxious and willing to be compliant with the post instructions.

Thank you so much, I appreciate that.

Please listen to your surgeon, your weight loss is going to be scary to anyone that's used to seeing you as a larger woman, if you stop walking you may stall your progress, I've read hundreds of stories on the sleeve and in most cases people are initially losing 20-30 pounds per month, you are obviously succeeding, please don't interrupt this, just keep in mind the reason you started this journey in the first place. Be proud of how far you've come and continue towards success. This summer is going to be wonderful for you.

Fantastic job, I don't have my date yet but I sure as heck hope to have the same success and determination as you, your a true inspiration sister.

You look beautiful and confident, great job.

That's spectacular, great job, I pray for the same success when my surgery comes up. You should be very proud of yourself.

I finished all of my pre op requirements by 11/05/13, my primary care Dr. decided to add another test that was not required by my insurance or surgeon, I ended up having to do a stress test on 11/19/13 and was advised yesterday that I will need to have a catheter placed in order to have the surgery, this isn't done until 12/12/13 and I will need to be on blood thinners for a month after that which will make it an additional 6 weeks before I can even work towards a surgery date. I know that my primary care Dr. is doing the right thing but I can't help but to feel down and a little discouraged by the delay, I was expecting to have my surgery by mid December but instead I will be getting a stent placed, what a delay.

Blockage in right artery. Unfortunately

I'm sorry for you and your family, your sister was beautiful and I know that she feels comfort in knowing how much you and your family loves her and your willingness to be there for her children. Bless you and your family.

You look totally different congratulations on your success, what was your workout routine like? I'm expecting to be sleeved next m

Tremendous difference, great job keep up the good work.

I have been in your position more times than I can count. You put yourself aside and showed up to be there for your family which is most important. The thing about being over weight is that people can see right away what we are struggling with which gives them immediate power to make judgments, however, most of those same people have things that they are struggling with that we can't see from just looking on the outside. I know that it's difficult now but your strength comes from situations like this and it will allow you to live up to the actual saying of "beautiful inside and out" not many people can effectively fill these shows, your level of compassion and empathy will be well beyond average due to the judgments that you've had to endure. Between now and march you should certainly try to come to a understanding with yourself that you are a survivor and have a totally different life to look forward to which you greatly deserve.

So much will come from your strength and determination, congrats on your progress. You look wonderful.

You look spectacular. 2014 is going to be quite a ride.

You will be approved and very soon don't continue to worry. 2014 is going to be spectacular.
