Topic: RE: Surgeon in Asheville -- Christopher Edwards
Thanks for replying, Tamara! I think my issue is not that I don't have confidence in him; it's just that I met him once for 15 minutes, so I don't think it's even possible for me to be completely confident in him. I have been to a few of the support meetings in AVL, but I'll definitely go to more and specifically ask about him. I was approved by my insurance on Friday and am waiting to hear back about my surgery date, so hopefully I'll have time to get to another couple of meetings before the actual S-Day!

I live in Asheville but decided to go to a different clinic for my own personal reasons.
IF you don't have complete confidence in him then don't go with him. Dr Bradshaw and Dr. Sosar also do surgeries at mission.
ALso go to the support group in Asheville and they can help you more. THere is not a lot of people on here that post from Asheville.

Wow. How did I miss this? I could have gone (I think I could have gone out for a bit anyway). Maybe next time, if there is one.

Best wishes! I'll be thinking about you. You'll do great. I just know it! Let us know when you get back.
Topic: Surgery in the morning
I will be reporting to the hospital at 530am and should be on the table by 730....8 am at the latest. I SHOULD be out of the hospital by Wednesday or maybe THrusday, depending on if my fatty liver issues cause them to have to do full cut. I am amzingly calm right now. About to go get a big glass of ice water and up to take a nice warm shower. Hopefully someone upstairs will bless me with good sleep tonight. LOL.
So see you ladies on the losers bench, save me a seat and I will get back in here as soon as I can, until then TTFN.

Topic: RE: Sunny Sunday Roll Call
I'm so happy to hear you have most of your things back! i'm sorry some things were broken and missing. 
Today I worked! This month I'm working two days a week, next month I bump up to three days a week. My little girl seems to be doing really well having extra daddy time. I'm just blessed to have found this opening. I'm not sure I could have found anything better for this stage of my life.
My weight seems a little high this weekend. I've been in a little bit of a funk the past three days. I think it's just the adjustment to working and the financial pressures my family has been going through the past couple years. Thus my gratitude for my new job. I want to get a fresh start tomorrow and get in a good week of working out and eating right. After all, those are the things I can control in my life right now.
