Thinking making sure and PRAYING!!! I think I'm more nervous about not being around my child. I know my husband will do fine with her...but we all know moms always do best...This will be the FIRST TIME NOT PUTTINE HER TO BED ....It's my separation anxiety. I know all will be great...I keep telling myself this is for a better life with my husband, my daughter, and for me. August 11, 2014... We are Ready! Well.... as ready as can be!!!

YAHOOOOOO!!!! I'M AUGUST 11TH!!!! .... AM Wondering has the August 11th group lost any weight!???

I cant wait til that happens to me!!! The new me!!!! Cheers to your many success!!!!

Yahoooo... I finally got a date for my surgery!!!! August 11th!!! I had to change my original Dr. from BIDMC-Boston- they were being jerks and not getting back to me..they were telling me I had to lose weight...DUH!!! I mean they wanted to me to lose weight but not give me any guidance or anything. They weren't allowing me to schedule appt....THEY BOTCHED my first surgery attempt I should of known better....therefore I went elsewhere....and it was truly the BEST decision ever...... My new Dr. ( Dr. Julie Kim - Mount Auburn -Cambridge- has been AMAZING!!!! plus her staff have been phenomenal. 2 more weeks!!! I pray this 2nd VSG attempt goes perfect!!!

Thanks all again for the amazing responses!!!!

So true people don't understand other people story or struggles!!! Thanks for responding!!! love positive feed back!! C'mon......it's just the idea of people not understanding the whole story that is really bugging us about that "Easy" crack. In truth, losing the weight is easier than any efforts I made before......not to mention I'm actually changing my lifestyle and eating healthy this time. OK, OK..... I know there is the whole "life risking" surgery thing and recovery pain and mini meals and no gulping and tenny bites and chewing endlessly and loss of taste and and and. Plus there is still that reality that I have to change my eating habits to eat less......and healthy and exercise and take Vitamins and pretty much everything that any other weight loss would entail........So where is the easy part. Who cares what anybody says or thinks. You not going to change their minds or way of thinking. All I care about is reaching my goal and regaining my health and my life. Convincing others of how I got there is of no consequence. When someone comments to me about the Easy way out.....I just say....."Yep, I shoulda done it years ago"

omg!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Thanks...that's AWESOME!!!

Don't they ask where you were, or why you look smaller? I work for the disability dept at my work place and when I return to work the forms I enter from disability will come through there the office...I work in a place where everything is "confidential" and let me tell you...nothing is confidential...so I figure they will know anyways...granted they cant ask me but they know. My family and I are tight.. Wait didn't people wonder why you were smaller? or why you were out of work for that long? I work for the Disability Dept at my work place...and everything there is "confidential", but nothing is confidential ..if you get what I mean....they will know about my medical procedure but not allowed to ask...but I figure I'd tell them...they don't matter to me...I think the more I answer sleevers response the stronger and thicker is my skin!!! thanks so much for sharing!!!!

You're awesome...the more encouragement I read the more I have the strength to stand up to those who are stupid!!! cranial-rectal-inversion.jpg

Thanks..you rock!!!! you are absolutely right!!! The thicker skin in me will have to grow!!! Hope I don't throw something at them first....hahahaha!!!
