  4. Hi ladies, Thank you for taking the time to reply. Both are completely right, she would not want me to piggy back on her docs appointment. Deep down I knew what I should be doing but I'm not sure why I didn't just trust my instinct. I will be going on my own if I can however if she is persistent I will just ask her to wait in the waiting room. I'm also going to try to keep the rest of the office visit dates to myself. I think it is important to remember like you said that this is my journey and I should be working on me not my friendships! Thank you! I think I just needed to hear from a third party. Steph

  7. My bff and I are both having vsg surgery soon and I was excited untill lately. We have a pretty small social circle about 5 or 10 people, everyone seems to be so excited and supportive of her but they hardly care about me. At first I thought it was me so I stepped back and now I see that there is more support for her. I also noticed that she's been making this journey a competition when I just wanted to enjoy it. Like when I got my refferal she pulled ou a 2 year old one and switched to my insurance since it covers the surgery. Then she decided to also choose the same surgeon. And now that I have my first visit scheduled she wants to go with me since her referal hasn't been approved, she's hopping to piggy ban the appointment. I don't want to suffer but I also want to make this journey enjoyable and simple for her.
