I have been learning and studying about WLS for five years now.  My blood pressure is out of control even with five medicaitons, I hate the CPAP machine.  No person should be tied down in their dreams.  I just hate it, it is the most un-sexy thing you can wear in bed.  20 years of marriage, and look honey now you get to sleep with darth vader.  I don't even like my kids to see me in it.  I am taking so many meds I think they are making me sick.  I have a wonderful husband, and four beautiful healthy kids, I am blessed.  I want to live, I want to see them grow, I want to go on long walks with them and hike with my husband again.  I can't wait for the new part of my life to begin.

Can't stand the wait!!!
on February 19, 2009 12:11 pm
I can't stand the wait, or the weight!!! I have my date and March 16th feels like a year away? Will I really not feel hungry? Will I really not be the only one in the room who is dying of heat??? I can't wait, I'm so nervous, its like being pregnant, you want so bad to meet the new little person!  This web site has given so much encouragement, the stories I have read and the pictures I have seen are incredible, I wonder so bad if it will really happen to me, I feel almost numb.  Some days I feel like crying, I guess I will miss turning to food for my comforter, I pray God gives me what I need so I can do this, I can do this!!

Waiting for a date
on January 25, 2009 3:08 pm
The waiting for a date is going to drive me crazy!  I have had my first appointment with the WLS and they have more than enough information to submit to my insurance company, but the waiting is so hard, I better learn how to calm down. Once I have made up my mind about something I usually jump on it rather than wait it out.  Now I like so many have no control I have to wait for others.  I wish I had the cash, I would just pay it out and be done with this part of me that is killing me.  But here I am ready for another week of waiting.  Hoping I don't explode, they can't seem to control my blood pressure.
