  1. My husband told me a couple of weeks ago that he saw one of my former coworkers and told her I was having the RNY. I asked him not to tell people because it isn't their business. The town we live in is full of judgmental assholes and the last thing I need is for them looking down at me because of that. Well I thought he understood. He just told me that 3 other people will be thinking of me tomorrow. I asked him what he told them and he said that I was having the surgery. I asked him if he told them the kind of surgery and he said yes because they'll figure it out sooner or later. This caused an instant reaction from me and we got into it. I dont care for people knowing I'm having surgery but it's none of their business what type of surgery unless ME MYSELF or I tells them!!! Am I wrong to be embarrassed that people know?? That's one of my mental issues I have to get passed too, I always worry what everyone else thinks about me. Any advice!?

  3. My surgeons office just called me and told me that instead of 11am that I need to be at the hospital at 7:30am tomorrow. I'm freaking out a bit guys! Last Night when I was washing with the hibiclense I was fine until I got out of the shower then I started panicking and having a bit of an anxiety attack! Luckily when I was able to function again I was able to take two of my anxiety pills. Guys im so scared.
  4. I know how you feel! I was very embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Hang in there!
  5. Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies (also a cookbook) is good too!!! I also got the Complete Idiots Guide above which was great too!!
  6. I had to wait 6 months+ I started in November and my surgery is in 1 1/2 days!!!!!!!!!! Girl hang in there it will pass quickly! I never thought my date would get here and it finally did!!
  7. They should have asked what size you needed! That was very rude and uncalled for. I feel for you.
  8. Yes!!! Me and my bestie always heard complaint after complaint about how cold it is, lol!!! So annoying!! I hope I become an annoying person haha
  9. Yes!! Sweating under the boobs and my belly is always awful!!!!! And I have a battery operated desk fan at my work that I'll be bringing with be to the hospital! I pray it gets so much better!!
  10. Ninja, huh? I have had the Ultimate Chopper from tv for years it comes with a blender attachment too but I've been thinking about getting a backup. Mine smells like burning metal every time I mix anything lol maybe its just too old! Lol
  11. Girl I'm right there with ya! Wed is mine too!!! I am obsessed with the thoughts of shopping and actually being able to buy little clothes! My husband folds the clothes and it's so terrible to watch him fold my pants or panties....they are double his size!!!! I can't wait for that to change!!!!
  12. I am a VERY hot natured person who is surrounded by coldies!! I sweat profusely and it's embarrassing! Does this get better for everyone!?? Please tell me it does!!!!! My surgery is July 11 (Wed) and was also wondering if that happens immediately or takes a while to not be so hot anymore!!
  13. Batesville, Arkansas having surgery in Little Rock July 11 - Dr. Baker
  14. Wow there's quite a few of us having surgery July 11!!! Sooo awesome!!!
  15. Yes this 10 day shakes diet is the hardest thing I've ever done! I would rather have another kid....it would be so much easier and I had two bad ones!!! I'm 6days in...... I think they started me too early by 2 days lol. Oh my hubs made cheese toast this morning and I had to go outside in the heat it smelled so good. That is when I realized above all else bread is my absolute weakness.
  16. I feel the same way!!
  17. That is soooo great!!!!!!!! I can't wait to be able to do that!!!
  18. I wasnt nervous until insurance approved me. Now I realize it's really happening!! July 11!!
  19. My surgery is July 11 too!!!! I'm on day 4 of protein shake liquid diets. First couple of days was ok I survived, yesterday I had a terrible migraine (didn't take anything for it per surgeons office) and today I'm in a terrible mood! All I want to do is eat something. I thought about pepperoni pizza with extra cheese all stinking day today! I hate being a food addict! I can't wait for that to get better!!!!
  20. Awesome!!! Way to go!!
  21. I think you had a good idea by going to another doctor. But I would make sure your doctor refers you to them so insurance won't go crazy on you!! I think going to another one will be just as quick!! Hang in there! I finally was approved and my surgeons office nit picked until they had too much information,lol.
