10 MORE DAYS AND I WILL BE SWITCHED!!!
on March 30, 2008 1:22 am

WELL 10 DAYS AND I WILL BE A OFFICAL DS'er!!

I AM STARTING TO FEEL A LITTLE OVERWELMED WITH EMOTION. I AM SO READY TO HAVE THIS SURGERY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I AM REALLY NERVOUS. BUT I GUESS THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED.

 MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DIDN'T DO THIS YEARS AGO..I MISSED OUT ON SO MUCH OF MY BOY'S GROWING UP THEY HAD TO GIVE UP SO MUCH HAVING A MOTHER WHO WAS SO BIG AND COULDN'T REALLY GO OUT AND PLAY AND DO THE THINGS THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED TO DO.

BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TRY AND MAKE UP SOME OF THE THINGS THEY MISSED OUT ON, BY BEING HEALTHY FOR THERE CHILDREN. I SO WANT TO BE THERE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN WHEN I HAVE THEM.

I LOVE MY BOY'S WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL AND I AM SO SORRY THAT THEY HAD TO GROW UP WITH AN SMO MOTHER! IT JUST MAKES ME SICK WHEN I REALLY SIT AND THINK ABOUT IT. BUT THEY LOVE ME AND HAVE NEVER EVER MADE ME FEEL LIKE THEY WERE EVER DEPRIVED OF ANYTHING GROWING UP! MAN I REALLY AM BLESSED TO HAVE THEM!! 

ZACH AND CHRIS ARE BOTH READY FOR ME TO HAVE THIS SURGERY WHEN I START TO HAVE DOUBTS THEY SET ME STRAIGHT REAL QUICK. THEY WANT ME HERE FOR ALONG TIME AND THEY KNOW THAT WITH OUT THIS INTERVENTION I WILL NOT BE HERE TO SEE THERE CHILDREN. 

OK ENOUGH FOR NOW I AM REALLY GETTING EMOTIONAL NOW IT IS LATE AND I SHOULD BE SLEEPING BUT MY MIND IS RACING AND I CANT SEEM TO CALM MYSELF. 

I SURE COULD USE THE SWEET LIL CHAPLIN THAT WAS AT ST VINCENTS WHO CAME IN TO OUR PRE OP CLASS AND DID MEDITATION WITH US TO HELP CALM US . HE WAS AMAZING. I WANT HIM WITH ME WHEN I GO INTO SURGERY!!

IT'S BEEN ALONG TIME!! UPDATE ON WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON!
on February 28, 2008 7:57 pm

Hello everyone it really has been along time since I last updated my profile..So I thought I would try and bring it up to date...

I will be having my DS on April 9th Whoo Hooo there have been so many others who have been having there switch the last couple months it is great!! We have Lost a few good women from this board. It was a real blow for many to lose Lucie and kelly K. may they rest in Peace!

There have been those who have had some complications and many who have done wonderful with there recovery's. I have noticed alot of women have had there PS surgerys as well congratulations to all who have made the decision to change there health for the better and to those who have contuniued on there journeys to bring there body's to the place they deserve to be after putting in such a huge effort with there weight loss..you go girls you desirve the smokin hot bod's you have worked so hard for!!

But as usual from what I have seen this wonderful group of men and women on this forum have pulled together to support one another thru the rough times! Everyone here is awsome!

Well back to my personal things that have been going on latley..Dr Inman requires that women have a up to date mamogram and a pap has to be one done with in a year of your surgery...So I had my mamogram done and got the results back and everything was great!! YEAAA.

I also went in and had my pap's done it took two weeks to get that test back and when I got it back it showed up abnormal...So I had to make another appointment with the ob/gyn to be rechecked..well that appoinment is on march 4th and my pre op testing is on march 11th yea only one week later and I am sure I will not have the results back by then!! So do I just say nothing yet or wait till I do get the results back???? then I go back to have my pre op class ( NUT ) on march 27th by then I should know something about my second pap...then a only a few day's before surgery!!!! YEPPIEEEEEE

I WILL FINALLY BE SWITCHED!!!!

I ALSO WANT TO THANK VICKI,

SO THANK YOU VICKI!

on October 17, 2007 8:24 pm
WELL TODAY I CALLED ST VINCENT'S AND HAD THEM CHANGE MY DR'S APPT..WITH DR CACUCCI..I SWITCHED TO DR INMANN MAINLY BECAUSE  OF THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.. SO NOW I HAVE AN APPT.. ON OCTOBER 29TH....I AM SO CONFUSED ON WHAT SURGERY TO HAVE...I AM KIND OF THINKING THAT THE DS MAY BE WHAT IS GOING TO BE BEST FOR ME..I GUESS I NEED TO LEARN ALOT MORE... JUST STARTING THIS JOURNEY IS MORE STRESS THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE..
