mine is scheduled for the 16th, that is if I can get this ecdm fine today at315, can't remember if I had some raisins like at 1230, or maybe 1 on my way to bed, forgot all abt the no eating after month but it wasn't a meal, just a fairly large handfull off raisins. pretty sure if I don't/can't get those test, then surgery will most likely be moved into Dec. I have been working for this for 2 almost 3 years, setting it back will only make it so upsetting for, I'm ready, been ready for this to happen.
I pray
all goes great for you. believing you have a wonderful support team, having you decision and you have help with your road back to health in your road to better health. Be sure NOT TO OVER DO IT take your time to heal .

Hello,
I am sad to say that I did not go through with the surgery. 2 days before surgery (ALL JACKED AND READY FOR IT ) I had my last visit with my surgeon. He informs me that there has been NO CHANGE to the FIRST surgery. ( WHAT???? ) I was told there was in Seattle, and my Medicaid and Medicare approved it. I still might have it . But I have to conquer my night eating. STRESS with husband and STRESS with MOTHER living here. So until I get this under control, there is no hope.
The other reason I didn't get it, 20% chance of something seriously going wrong, and he could only guarantee 30lbs weight loss, when I have a good 45-55 to lose. again, ( SAY WHAT???) that's all you call guarantee, oh good Lord Jesus, I don't believe it was quite worth it. So here I am struggling every day/night to maintain, and to lose weight, and I believe it will begin to get better (health,/weight) I have done it all on my own before ( not support system ) this time for this super SLOW journey. And if it should go into reverse, then I am going to work once again towards having it done. but as for now, No, I am on my own, working hard naturally to see what I can do all on my own.
I am so very happy for you and where your journey has taken you, I know for sure you have done the right and best thing you could do for yourself. God bless you as you. Pls keep in touch and let me know how you're doing from time to time?? friend ( or OH friend)
