we're here for ya sweetie

Thanks I'll stay in touch and we'll see how it goes. I havn't gotten a call for my lab work though. My pre-op class in 9/22 and surgery 10/7..when am I supposed to get a call for that i wonder?

Good luck to you-can't wait to read about it. Thats what I feel like about my pics not ready for that yet.

Is a personal trainer expensive? where do you find them?

Wait im confused. Did you have your surgery already?? How long ago? It sounds like youre eating healthy..i'll find out more when i do mine. I know absolutly nothing about this..*sigh*

That sounds yummy!

I am nervous about the excersise part. I dont do it at all (which i bet is a contributing factor to my being fat). How do you log your food? Do you do it at the realize my success site?

Down down doobie lol..reminds me of the old songs.. Did you find it hard to start an excersise routine?

It's nice to have someone who knows what you are going through and can be supportive. Keep it up and i hope the best for you both..

Yay!! Great job! Packing your own lunch is more economical anyway. I feel like i'm hungry even more now. I wonder if its all in da brain 10/07 for me..

well, after getting cold feet back in 2/08 when i was supposed to have the surgery, i started the process again. I called bmi surgery and explained to them the details as to what scared me etc. The coordinator was understanding, and said lets get you in for a mini-consult with the doctor. My biggest fear in doing this again was that i would have to be evaluated again. But, i had my consult 8/27 and i don't have to!! Within 24 hours, i received the call from the cordinator and we scheduled everything from the pre-op classes to the surgery. I have no ones support. My daughters are 10 & 12 and they are worried..they of course dont see the big picture. The other part is my parents..they have not responded to my emails..so that to me indicates they aren't willing to even discuss it. Last of all my b/f. We met in feb when i was as fat as i am now and he definitly doesn't want me going through it. But i explained to him, you may come and go in my life but my fat (unless i do something) will always be with me. I'm a bit nervous of the port and how protruding it is. Other than that, i am going to do it. I've told a few girls at work because i dont want to look stupid if i back out again, that way i have a better change of going throught it. good plan eh?

exactly what i posted in your previous blog. There are mexico posts here on the website, check them out...family is usually there in our time of need even if they dont want to be...good luck

The psych eval was pretty easy, they ask questions like how long you've been fat, has it prevented you from advancing in your jobs, things like that. Congrats on the marriage! Good luck 2u........:biggrin:

Nothing like having cuties for doctors (lol)... I bet you'll have it the same day as me! I have to go the 26th to sign the consent form.. Have a great day!

thanks hun :biggrin:..i can't wait!

Hey all, I'm sooooooooooooooooooo thrilled!! Last year 10/07, I started the whole process of getting the approvals from the doctors (cardio, lung, psych)..2/12/07 I was scheduled for surgery...and RIGHT before the day, I cancelled...unbelievable! Recently, I started rethinking everything...and decided to start once again. Luckily, I didn't need to be re-evaluated. Today, I got the call from the cordinator. I go to pre-op class on 9/22 and Surgery is scheduled for 10/07/08!! whooooooo whooooooo!! wish me luck and any positive feedback is morrrrrree than welcome!! Peace out-

good luck 2u2!! :biggrin:
