I need a buddy

[homersmomma 77]

After much procrastination I have a date with Dr Almanza on September 3rd. I live near Tulsa Oklahoma and I would really like a surgery buddy that is going to be having their sleeve done around that time.

Hi Homersmonma! My best friend and I are scheduled September 2nd with Dr. Almanza! We are coming down from Slidell, LA on September 1st! Getting a little nervous!! How are you holding up?

Hi, Amanda May!

I am holding up pretty well. I started my liquid diet that part I thought would be difficult but I am making it.

How are you and your sister doing?

[homersmomma 77]

sorry best friend.....lol. Probably like sisters though.

We are about to go have lunch together to discuss child care arrangements. She has two very active 5 & 6 years olds! My older two daughters are going to help out while we are gone! Our liquid diet starts Friday!!! We also start out medifast diet tomorrow. Today will be out last real food day!!! Lots of anxiety but really excited are you packed and ready to go? By the way I have a low BMI and so does Shannon. Mine is barely a 30 and hers is like a 34. I fear being judged for having this surgery but its my body and I'm short and stout and sick and tired of being sick and tired! Hope to see you there!

Due to my high BMI I have had to do my diet sooner than most. I still need to pack. Trying to decide what I ought to bring to wear..... . My passport came in just the nick of time. I decided to get the card also since that is all we really need to go into Mexico. My children are grown, but I understand your child care concerns. I was a single mom and trying to juggle their school things work and ect.... was difficult at times. Hope you guys get it all worked out.
