    Time off work

    By yo2118,

    How much time did you guys take off work? I am taking 10 days off so I can be onto soft foods by the time I go back. I am the lead trainer for the cheesecake factory so I am on my feet for hours straight. So I am a little nervous to go back as it is. But whet is really stressing me out is it's the last 10 days of the month, so its going to be tight coming up with rent this month! I wonder if I will feel up to going back sooner?

    5 more days...

    By yo2118,

    In the middle of April I decided to look into the lap band farther. My mom and i have talked about it before, but it never felt like it was something that I could actually do. I ended up going to a seminar on April 15th at Sky Ridge to see if it was something that was within my reach. I met Dr. Chae and the more i learned about it, the more I really wanted it. Two weeks later I had my consultation appointment and he said I qualify for the surgery and he would really love to do it for me. Then as you ass know... insurance!? They did all the work for me, which was great, but I found out that I was approved, but it would be more expensive out of pocket than if I just paid for it. Well I'm 26 years old! I don't have any money! But my mom and grandma said they would pay for it! How amazing is that. They said I really deserve it and I have done so much for the family that they really wanted to do this for me. Two days later I was in the nutrition class and now I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday the 24th!! I'm so excited but as it gets closer I'm getting nervous. Not about the surgery, but about what to expect after. Some insight into what to expect would be great. There's only so much I can hear from the doctor before I really want to hear it from people that have had it. Please help!

    So as you know I went out for my last drink tonight before my Monday surgery. They had bingo at the bar so we stayed and played. After one of the games two people had won. We were outside when the guy who ran bingo came out and told this guy (one of the winners) that he had to either flip or draw high card for the prize. He said he would flip for it and so the bingo runner went in to tell the girl what he had decided. A couple minutes later he came back out and told the guy winner that she wanted to arm wrestle for it. The group of guys just laughed it off and said "oh yeah LOL" until the girl walked outside. She was a bigger girl and when the group of guys saw her they all started laughing saying hell no and making fun of her. It really sucks to feel like people are looking at you and laughing like that. They ended up flipping a coin and the girl won. She went back in and they continued to laugh and joke about her. You all know those guys! I can't wait to be on the other side of that joke knowing it's not funny!
