My “Selfish” Dilema

[Herstorian 15]

I just asked my doctor to refer me for gastric sleeve surgery. He replied on Thursday, April 4th that he submitted the referral. Now what? How long does it take usually after the referral at Kaiser Fontana? Anyway, my dilema is that I am a school teacher and not to tute my own horn but the kids are fond of me in an aunty type of way I guess but some have slipped and called me mom and I am just as fond of them. However, I do have an unbalanced share of difficult kids and it’s Jr. High so they are quite a challenge. I also have a great deal of the advanced kids, although those kids are a greater challenge if home is not supportive of them. Needless to say, the stress from my job has made gaining weight very easy. This year my asthma that I have had since infancy has taken a turn for the worse and though I have my meds, I am feeling HORRIBLE. I know that weight loss will help and I want to head for surgery ASAP! I feel guilty leaving my students, but not enough to give up my chance should it arise before schools out. I’m hoping any parents or students who have experienced teachers leaving suddenly and affecting them, might chime in. I also hope people who feel that I should proceed with my needs chime in as well. I also hope someone with experience at Kaiser Fontana with Gastric Sleeve surgery would not find it too boring to fill me in on what to expect. I appreciate any response as I am kind of obsessed with this right now.

BTWm even tho I am a teacher, I am a sloppy typist and I don’t care okay? I just want to get my words out however I can. Please do not feel intimidated in writing... Please don’t correct my writing either because I know...

This is my first time in forum. So I am learning...

Thank You!
