Thanks April,

How are you doing how was your surgery!!!!!

Hi,

Congrats on coming this far in the game. Don't worry about the rescheduled appt. Girl, you're almost there breathe in deeply and relax. I was banded on 8/4/08. I know you're excited because I couldn't wait to get my surgery date. As far as support I feel you on that but I've also learned that there are some people (including family) that you can't share this kind of experience with...I don't know if they may hate on you are not give you the kind of support you need. Sometimes you can find the best support from strangers going through the same journey you're going through. It's all good keep a positive attitude and work towards your first goal on your new journey. PEACE and Welcome TO THE CLUB.:biggrin:

Thanks Melolo:thumbup:

You dont understand how happy I am i have found this site!!!! I can relate to most of the storeis on here that I have read and it makes me feel good!!!!!!!! But i am going to stay strong and just do what i have to do for me:biggrin:

But I am feeling better about my date.:thumbup:

Good MOrning Ladies,

:frown:I am not doing so well today. I was home cooking dinner for my family when I got a call from the Doctor's office. The lady on the end called me to tell me they needed to reschedule my appoinment again:mad:!!!! Mind you this will be the second time it has been rescheduled. So after 10 minutes of going back and forth with her with her rude commenmts i finally just got the new appoinment date. I literally cried when I hung up the phone from her!!! But hey i guess it just gives me more time to prepare:unsure:

Yes that is my problem too!!!! My appoinment was orginbally scheduled for today by the pushed me to next monday. i cant wait for the wardrobe part of it either. I am going to Brigham and Womans and i am seeing Dr. Vernon thier. I went to the orientation back in June. She was so booked as you can see.
