April Dates

Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

April 4 I'm soooooo scared ... I have been so mean to my family that is so supportive of me ... I feel bad ... But I just can't help it .... The nerves have taken over ugh

It's never too late to say I'm sorry -- I'm sure they would understand if you explained it to them. ;) Hang in there and you will get through this!

Hey all! I have been sleeping on and off all day and feel like I tried to do way too many sit-ups' date=' but things went so well!!! They told me I was a champ, so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

I agree you guys here are like family I get more support here then I do with my real family

It's cause we're all going through the same thing and understand your family there for you but they can't complety understand what your going through they try but it's hard cause if your not physically going thought its hard cause there's so may emotions and felling you go through not beside everything you have to remember to do and watch so careful what you eat and try to get all your protein in and were all going through this so we understand

I agree as well. Spouses dont know what u go through like the ones who are going through it. I am gettinf so nervous i keep going over my list of things for after amd for the hospital. My head keeps spinning

Wendilou - Can you please add me for 4/9? Thanks. Mary

Yeah congrats
