I am not so much crabby as I am depressed, I cry alot, my 4 year old is my "ANGEL", she is always saying "MOMMY IT WILL ALL GET BETTER AND YOU CAN BE HAPPY AGAIN" What she means by again i don't know I don't think well I know she has never seen me truely happy, a day here and there where I can pretend to be happy but never truely "HAPPY" I also hope this is normal....

Well I had my third visit to my surgeon last week. Between my first and second visit to him I lost 13 pounds not really trying, but I went back to work after being un-employed for 6 months). Anyway I saw him last week for my 3rd visit. Bummer....I gain 5 pounds in 1 1/2 months! I have an appointment with my surgeon in 2 weeks and have to loose the 5 pounds I gained!!! It's frustrating, however I understand any weight I can loos before surgery will help my surgeon. When I started this progress in AUgust, I thought I would be having surgery in November!! Now I understand how difficult it is to wait. I could use some support in my efforts to loose this weight and ANY suggestions on how to loose this weight so quickly. It is difficult for me to exercise due to bad knees and hips. Any diet suggestions (as long as they are not going to damage my health) would be appreciated. Mari

Hi Marie - hang in there girl and don't worry, your time will come. I too had this surgery because i was just not up to scratch being a second mummy to my deceased sister's children and i want to at least make things up to them. Please read my profile and if you like, drop me line "And I want to show you great and marvelous things" - Jeremiah 33:3 May God bless you on this journey kind regards Bernadette Reynolds

Mari, just a little word of advice about Cigna. They are NOTORIOUS for "not recieving your paper work". I called them about 3 days after mine was faxed and they said they had recieved it. I called back about 4-5 days later and they acted like I was crazy because thay had not received them!!!! My advice to you is call them at least evey other day. Make them aware of how bad you want this. Get in touch with a nice operator amd ask for his/her extension. In all it took them 3 weeks to approve me. Good luck to you.

I'm sorry you had to go thru that, at your Dr appt, however you are not alone. I have raised the table myself and sometimes have not been able to get on the table when it was right up against the wall. Your daughter is young and this particular memory may not stay with her. Good luck in your wls journey. Leslie E.

A little off topic. I was adopted at 3.5...yeah for adopting an older child, you two are so blessed to have each other. My eyes started to water when I read your comments...I have two daughters and if you read some of my comments you will see that my daughters have seen the side effects of my weight. It makes me sad. Bless...

hi Mari. I am sorry to hear that your consultation didn't go well. I do know that your confidence in the surgeon is very important. Maybe you should try to shcdule antother visit. Just let him know that you felt rushed and that you had other issues you wanted to discuss. I hope everyting works out for you.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give, and the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live. Thinking of you as you take this step towards a happier healthier life . *Hugs*
