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?

You are a sweetheart and you are gonna do just fine. I'm sorry about your ass ( the one you are married to.) But we are hear for you!! (((Big hugs)))

Your so sweet I found a ride so I will see you on the losing side

Hang in there Krystal. You need to get your support wherever you can and we are all here for each other. Only we truly understand everything that went into this life-changing decision. Sometimes our loved ones can only see how things affect them directly and find it hard to look at the big picture. Your hubby is probably freaked out about taking care of your 7 kids...it sounds like you provide the majority of the care for them. Just keep remembering that you have made the right decision for you and your family, they just need to buck up and support you for a few weeks. Be strong and best of luck tomorrow!

And on top of that my husband being a unsupportive ass I dont thank he is going to the hospital with me im in tears right now

Krystal my husband was not too excited about me wanting to have surgery either! He was scared and worried I think. Your husband may just be going through the same thing. My husband once he realized that I was going through with this, a week before my surgery started working out and started his own diet. You are going to be fine! We are here for you always! Just think of who you may inspire along your journey that may just start a diet or even have the surgery themselves. I will be thinking and praying for you! And best of luck! ????

Wendilou, can I join the party? Lol I am on April 18th! I am soooo excited but freaking out that something will get in the way. I have already been rescheduled once (to my advantage). To top this off, my surgery is this Thursday and I missed a call this evening from my surgeons office. They didn't leave a message and were out of the office by the time I called back. I am SO worried they're going to have to cancel. I apologize that I'm posting freaking out, but I know only people who have been there/are almost there would understand my "pre-op craziness"! Hahaha

You all are so great! It's so comforting to read all of your posts!
