Hi Melanie,

I am truly so very sorry to hear of all the heartbreak you have been through.  If you can get through all of that, you can be a success on your weight loss journey.  And God Bless You, I am not surprised you went back to eating for comfort with all of that going on in your life. Not many people could diet through all that pain, physical and emotional.  Not sure why some good folks are given so many crosses to bear but you are clearly a strong person.  Try to keep focused on the future and as the others have said, you have this forum to come to when you need support  and the opportunity to attend group support meetings as well.

So good luck with your weight loss journey.....you can do it!!

I have not had surgery yet so can't relate any experiences.  I was just referred in Feb.


Take care

Thanks Susan. I'm hoping the wait is not too, too long either.  Still thinking about out of province but am a bit concerned about the absence of follow up care.  Still, it seems that lots of folks have done that and been successful.  The hospital info is very good but hearing about people who have actually done it is so very helpful and reassurring.  It gives that  insight into real expereinces and the group support is amazing from what I've read.

I hope your wait isn't too long either..  When was your referral submitted?

Take care too.

If I recall ... I was bawling when they laid me out on the operating table. (After leaking tears the whole time in the waiting area)

It's a big deal ... but so fricken worth it!!

Welcome, Melanie;

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I can't even begin to imagine. You are obviously strong ... and that will take you far. This is not a journey for the faint of heart. But - it is awesome once you are committed to it.

I wish you luck, love and speed ... but I will warn you, there is no surgery that makes exercising fun ... you have to just do it ...

Wow that's great news Susan!!  I think it's pretty normal to be nervous about each step - it is a life changing step you're taking - if you weren't a little nervous I think there would be something wrong...  I remember when they called me with my surgery date, I cried, I laughed, I cried...  It was crazy! lol   But I'm sure glad I did it  :)

I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation!
