Thanks hun, it's just she's not accepting much lately...I want to take her to counseling..maybe its me and they way I explain things...

This is 2nd time for me..the first time, i didn't go through with it...cold feet...I am going through with it this time...

on my way home....im at work..slacking..LOL

Does anyone accept anything their parents do or say when they are 13??? It may not be you. Congrats on the date, Oct 7th is my day too!!! It's my brother's birthday and he has been giving me grief about it (although it's not nearly the same thing)

Hang in there, she'll come around 13 is a horrible age, I remember how nasty I was to my mother.:biggrin:

i do too.......sooooooo frustrating when you have all this stuff going on.........thanks for the kind words, and encouragement.

I am soooo excited!!

I have a upper GI and GB ultrasound and a an appt. with my surgeon on 09/05....to get my surgery date!!

WHOOOO HOOO!!!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

Good luck!!!

I love Smashing Pumpkins!!!

I am getting so excited just reading stuff on these forums. I hope to be part of this "smashing pumpkin" group!!! Please help me pray that I get approval from the insurance. Friday will be 2 weeks since the info was sent. I have had my psych exam and seen the nutritionist (as required by my surgeon in Statesville, NC).

Now, all there is to do is wait and get a date! I can't wait!!!

You have my prayer!

Just got the call, 10/7/08 for me. My daughter is devestated because it's a day after her birthday. I told her we can Celebrate it early, and she said its not the same :thumbup:. She'll be 13. Maybe that explains ita all.

9/22 I go to the pre-op class...and 9/23 start the liquid diet.

Nice to see theres a few of us here...

I start my diet on my mom's birthday. She is going to be 59 so I'd say it may not be the age. She seems to be trying to sabotage (sp?) me already. She keeps asking me if I am sure I want to do this. She seems to think this is just like gastric bypass. I have tried to explain it to her, but she is not trying to listen. So I guess I will deal with her cooking and baking pies (she didn't start doing this until I told her I was having surgery). She is really acting like the friends that you lose after losing weight. I don't know if she is just worried about me as her child, or if there is also some jealousy because I will no longer be larger than her. I don't know.

you have my prayer!

mine too!!

hi guys, my dates in october too, so am i a smashing pumpkin??:thumbup:

I think we are all good decision makes hahah :thumbup:

I definately think there is some jealousy going on. Unfortunately not everyone wants to see you thinner and healthier. Oh, well you have to do what is right for you!

I got my date October 6th!!! It is the day before my birthday. I'm hoping to have birthday luck lol My daughter is getting married October 3rd. Exciting times are ahead!!
