I've had a really rough day too. When people talk about their holiday plans I become resentful that I can't make plans because of recovery time... Mad at myself for being fat and in this position.

Yes, inconveniencing my family and also spending all our money. I'm paying out of pocket and we are scraping by for Christmas as a result. Oh well, I know it'll be worth it for them to have a more active, longer living mother and wife. Just wish it hadn't come to this.

I know what u mean... I've kept myself busy since 6am today by getting my hair braided which took 6 hours. Then I got rid of all the clothes in my closet & rearranged my bedroom. I brought a few new outfits in smaller sizes!

I have had a rough two days! Surgery on Tuesday they call me on Friday at 3:30 and tell me that I need to pay nearly $4000.00 before surgery. I am just devastated as I do not have that just readily available. I have to complete my scope procedure Monday but if can't get it paid why do I need to do that. So I am in a pickle do I continue with liquid diet or eat? I am going to beyond mad if I have given 11 days of my life up only not to have surgery. Need some advice fast please. Been trying to handle this but emotion is getting the best of me now.

I can't even imagine how your feeling! Is it something to do with insurance or the hospital? My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Oh my.... Sorry to hear of this.... Why would they wait so long to tell you this like everyone just has lots of money at their disposal. Do you have any access checks from a credit card you can use, or can you get a credit line increase on a credit card, apply for a loan 1st thing Monday morning. I know you're devastated. I would stay on the liquids just incase you can pull it off. Wish you much luck!

I asked the same thing why so they did not talk to me sooner. We started this process in March. Applied for medical loan on Friday and stayed on liquid diet. We will see on Monday.

I can't believe they waited all this time to tell you that? Wish I had some ready answers, but I don't. Insurance will not cover it?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
