I just watched your first video. Something weird happened. Let me start from the top. Today I woke up with a call from my mom and she was crying....she can no longer see. Like nothing, zip, zero. Mom has stage 4 bone cancer and has been on a million meds since march of 2012. Supposedly one of those meds caused an adverse reaction on her vision. Since May of 2012....it's been getting worst and today...she can no longer see.

Watching your video....your dad not being able to see, and my mom not being able to see. It's like the universe let us here lol

I hope your dad is ok, you said he's getting it fixed. My mom's case is soooo severe, surgery is the goal but her condition has to be stable for 2 more months. Her eye pressure was hovering around 45-50 for months, seems to be holding steady at a normal 19-25 now so hopefully she can have surgery.

I can't wait to watch the rest of your vids.

My dad had to keep his diabetes under control and loose a certain amount of weight for three months before they did the first eye. He was so determined, I don't blame him; that he did it. He went in and got the first eye fixed, then just recently had the second eye fixed. Listening to him talk about the things he sees is amazing!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. It's scary stuff! I will keep your mom in my prayers.

See, this is why I started the videos. :)

I'm so anxious ... I've become a YouTube & Instagram fanatic... I was cleared by the health psychologist & I have an appointment to meet the surgeon on the 12th so I'm crossing my fingers that my surgery date will be in July ...

Yay.... Mines 2nd July! Good luck

I'm new to this site. I'm getting excited and nervous because I've completed my 6 months requirement for BCBS. Waiting for my paperwork to come from the nutritionist and referral to BCBS for the surgeon. Does anyone know how long it takes? Anxiously waiting...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
