Hey Everyone its gettin closer and closer!! I can't believe in two weeks I am goin to be a looser!! I am gettin nervious.

I am lookin for an Angel as surgry is gettin closer.

 I feel really selfish for askin for one so I am sorry if people think that this is rude. I have no one in my family or friends that would be willin to be. My mom is still against me (she is not even takin me to the hospital) and I have lost my friends since they know that I am actually carring through with this. Hope this message finds you well and like I said I am sorry if any of you feel that it is rude for me to ask!

Valerie,

I am so glad that your surgery date is almost here.  I wish I was in MN because I would definitely be there for you in a heart beat.   I can be your angel by posting an update for you if you want me to.  I hope you definitely find someone to take you and bring you from the hospital.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery.

Hugs,
Cira  

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Valerie - it is NOT rude for you to ask for an angel! The purpose of having an angel is to have someone that can post updates for you during/after surgery and to have someone you feel connected to after surgery. You need support and the entire board is here for that purpose. But an angel plays a bigger role than that.

I am not offering only because I did not have a RNY and I feel you should have someone with that expertise behind them.

Praying you find your angel!

It is ABSOLUTELY NOT rude for you to reach out!  That's exactly what this place is for - many people experience less than happy changes in their relationships going through this, but I APPLAUD you for hanging in there and putting YOURSELF first!

PM me if you haven't made arrangements with anyone - I'm not near you, but all it takes is a couple of phone numbers at a minimum - GOOD LUCK to you!  Don't let the "non-believers" get you down!  You may have lost some former "friends" (which is questionable, really...), but you have an opportunity here to connect with a whole bunch of NEW friends who GET IT!

YAY YOU!
