Why they feel the need to be competitive and not supportive is amazing..... I stopped talking to some people in my immediate Fam over a year ago due to inappropriate comments about my weight after I gave birth and wore a size 10 and 12. The ridiculous things from my size 4 or size 5 mom that I had to check or from family that had weight issues (can we say potbelly, hbp, high chol, hypertension, anyone?) but refused to be checked and I had to cut them out.... This opportunity for us, as all other big life moments do, gives us a clearer picture of who is real in our lives and who are limited and we should therefore not expect anything better from (nor trust them with but so much). Plus many of these same people run their mouths to others in the Fam or associates and before we know it EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMA is in our business.

I am scared too. I closed my eyes at first, and hubby went first. Then I opened one eye, then the next. By the end of the route (4-5) different ones I was shouting! :-)

:-) I know!

Good luck

:-( just distract yourself and think positive

Yes I have been questioning and nervous. Dr's P.A. Has been talking me down, as has the nut. My mother too. She's a nurse and trim and fit effortlessly. She reminded me of my diets, but mostly my serious health probs and how continuing this way will end for me.

U can't take sick or personal leave? Some places give it to everyone every new year....... Nothing can be done?????

Usually in Hosp unless complications require longer. And drs differ too....

Born in NYC of Caribbean decent. Living in southern Maryland in a very quiet county.

Great!! See... Positive thoughts

Yes just have faith and trust that all will work out for your well-being. Prayers your way!

They usually put u on meds to regulate and u come back in a couple weeks have bloodwork done and if levels are normal the doc gives u a clearance letter and its given to your surgeons office to submit to insurance co. At least that's how it happens in Maryland w all the doc and insurance offices I have worked
