Wait List
After i did all the required appointments it took about two months but that includes waiting on other docs to turn in their paper work to surgeons office and a broken fax machine at insuarance office . Once i figured what was going on and made phone calls it took less than a week for approval and three days for a date. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

It is getting closer
It is getting closer to my surgery date dec. 5th and it seems like all the threads seem to be about regretting surgery or or people having so much trouble with the surgery. I know its just my nerves but before i had a date seemed like everyone was posting before and after pics or they were having comical discussions about bananas (i have no idea) but it seemed fun. They were posting positive stuff like what they are now doing with there lives. I know i need to hear about the good and the bad this surgery is not to be taking lightly i realize its probably nerves not from not surviving but surviving and being left mangled or things just going way wrong. Anyways i am not helping either this is a super negative post so can someone help turn it around and help me out with some positivity. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
There are many many straws for me but the one that started the ball rolling was when my father very tall and thin man smoker all his life suffered many debilitating strokes. He fell at the nursing home once and i helped get him up since he was hurting the nurses, my god he was so heavy. It made me appreciate the nurses so much more. I started thinking on my life i have no one other than my two sisters and my mom who is only 4'10 all i kept picturing is her taking care of me in the same state. Pops died during that week i somehow messed up my knee went to ortho she said i will not be able to walk in two years due to arthritis and weight. One year later messed up the other knee and was halving trouble walking. That scared the carp out of me i quit smoking and went to my physician and told him to refer me. While i was waiting for a call for an appt. I was coming home in the wee hours in the morning from work. I started to watering and went out to turn it off when i stepped on a wet spot on the top of concrete stairs and fell directly on my arse then bounced forward and messed up my knee some more so there i was 391 pounds of me lying on a wet concrete floor with the sprinkler going and a toad staring back at me. Yup almost squished a toad. So im wondering how im going to get up was in so much pain i had to crawl to the Water shut off then had to crawl up the stairs i finally manged to crawl into bed wet clothes and all i just could not move i felt so incredibly alone and i flashed back to my father and seeing him on the floor. I knew this was it i was done being fat!

New to dating
Sgc sorry about the sold out tickets but you missed a prime opportunity to see if she would have liked doing something else instead. If your really into this girl just ask her if she would be interested in going out on a date. If she says no then you at least tried and not left with would've could've should've. If she says yes then hot damn you better figure out where your taking her. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App
