Same here. Your child won't knw he difference whether he/she started today or tomorrow as the first day whenever it is, they will remember. Not if they were a day out. Look at it like this, It was the child birthday during the week and you didn't have many kids come to the party would you rather instead make it on the weekend so all kids come? So it's not really the day but celebrating the occasion.

So I had an emotional breakdown about this tonight. I was so upset that I couldn't find the right outfit for him to wear in first day of kindergarten that I just started crying my eyes out about not being here for him and not having the perfect outfit. I was a mess. This all came about after my 11 year told me she didn't want me to have the surgery because she was afraid I would die. I've been so strong through this whole process and I just let the tears flow. As I go to sleep tonight I pray to the good Lord that he watch over me and let me make it through this surgery. I can't leave my children. I'm not ready for that. Okay' date=' enough if that before I start crying again. I've got to leave for the hospital in 5 1/2,hours.[/quote']

I was a tad older when my mom had rny I remember going into her room the night before and crying my eyes out because I thought she was going to die as well. It has now been about 15 years since she had her very successful rny she has kept the weight off all these years and has been a much better mommy as a result. She was also a great support for me as I went through the process. You will be fine and when your daughter sees you loses the weigh and all you are able to do as a result she will be glad and happy for you. Prays for you today for you and your family!!!

I'm having the same issues. My surgery is Sept 3rd which happens to be the first day of school. My son is going into kindergarten and riding a bus. I'm so torn by this. I feel like I'm abandoning him on a special day. My mom will be taking him to the bus' date=' but it tears my heart apart knowing I will miss him on his first few days. I was not fortunate to get my surgery date earlier. If you could reschedule, your date I would. I'm more upset about missing him then I am nervous about the surgery. Good luck with whatever decision you make.[/quote']

:( I'm so sorry hun. I would be heartbroken if I had to make that decision. I hope your surgery went well today and that your son had a great first day!

As a mother to 3 kids. I would keep her home it's only one day. I have to take my son well idk if he must be present or not I will get his MRI results on his brain like next week. I nervous but if he must miss school so be it. Knowing what's wrong or not within us more important then just missing a day of school.

What's going on with him? My daughter has special medical needs also. She was diagnosed with biphenotypic leukemia when she was 6 months. I highly suggest starting a caringbridge.org site to let family know what's going on/let off steam. My daughter's site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/sagebaker

My son has autism but the neologist wanted to make sure his brain is developing correctly. Clear out anything else that might be wrong with him.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
