Hi everyone
well I'm on the other side and boy does it feel nice
The first night I thought I wasn't going to make it especially when they made me get up to the toilet but the rest of the days were good. I learned what it means to not drink to much water to fast boy did I pay for it. I hated to tube in my nose it was nice to get it out.
I had a few nurses that I didn't like, but all the others made up for those few, I had the most wonderful student nurse her Name was Jeanie she a second year student and Sandra the instructor is very nice also.
I got home yesterday boy was that a long car ride slept for most of it I felt icky all day long, but this morning I feel good my grandma will be here until next Saturday and she has been making sure I drink my Myoplex protein drink and water.

well three days left my Grandma is going to be here on Saturday
my Mom got sick again and the Dr told her that she can't come up to be here during my surgery it's hurts pretty bad but I'd rather have my mom being healthy than risk being here.I have a bit of venting to do so if you don't want to read stop here.
My mom and I have talked a lot and one of the things that we have talked about is how this surgery will change people towards us some will get closer to you and some you will see the true person they really are and I'm here to say boy is that the truth. I have this friend, we have been friends for like 5 years now, 3 weeks ago when we first found out that my mom couldn't be up here because of what is going on with her, my friend said that no problem she would go and stay the five days with me at the hospital and we could take my daughters with us so my hubby wouldn't have to worry about them, and my grandma and her could keep each other company, her and my sister in law came over and we got all the arrangements so that my SIL could work for her for the five days, the three of us sat down and talked, we talked about the baby shower, her reception and other things that are going on, then we got into talking about my up coming surgery and my SIL had the nerve to say (just joking according to her) that I better not become a snob because, "I'll be skinner than her" and my friend said "that's right you better not" so with that said the plans were made, a week later, 2 weeks before my surgery my friend calls and says that her van is making funny noises, and that everyone that said they could cover for her can't, now I was a little upset, but I understood things happen so now I had to figure out some new plans (which we have now so no worries,and I also had to worry about making my mom upset she was in the hospital at the time) I was upset and called my husband and told him what I had been told he called his sister and asked her why she canceled her plans to cover she said that she hadn't(we were also having a bit of a fight about another issue), when I finally talked to her she said that she never said that she couldn't work and that our friend had lied to me and it was cause she couldn't afford to take that much time off, I asked her why did our friend feel like she needed to lie to me it hurts more to know that she didn't just tell me that she couldn't afford it. At my SIL wedding reception my friend didn't talk to me at all that night, I've talked to her once since then. getting back to the comment that was made about me not being a snob after i lose all my weight, my mom and hubby have all agreed that when I do lose all my weight I'm not going to change who I am I'm just changing who people see on the outside and I have been thin before and thing only thing I think will change about me is the fact that I won't let people just walk all over me, when I was thin I would have never let anyone treat me like she has treated me, but for some reason as the weight came on I became more of a door mat, but I know what will happened I won't change but they both will say I have changed and I'm the skinny bitch and snob and they'll talk about me behind me back and say it's cause of the surgery and that I should have never gotten it cause it made me a bitch I can hear it now(cause that's the type of people they are) (a little FYI my friend about a year ago tried to kick me out of her life after I came home from Oregon, after spending 5 weeks with my grandmother who was dying, when I got back, I wasn't stressed about all the stuff that was going on in my hubby's family because I had been away from it for so long I didn't even think about any of it so I didn't need to complain so I didn't phone her everyday like I did prior to leaving and she told me I had changed and that I should have never went home that I was a worse person then when I had left and there were a few other issues that she had with me, but I forgave her and we made up, but it has never been the same, this time we were having a bit of a family tiff with my SIL and my friend told me if we didn't straighten up she would just wash her hands of the lot of us meaning me cause my friend and my SIL in law have become Mother and daughter in the last 2 years and she has stated that nothing will ever come between them and that my feeling don't matter even though we have been friends for over 5 years and they have only really know each other for 3 years)so when I needed her the most she has turned her back on me and let me down and I really feel that its got a lot to do with the fact that I'm getting my surgery and she'll never be able to get it but I don't know why she would feel that way she's not over weight and she has been doing so good at the gym. but I think I have vented enough I feel better.
I just want to say I am soooooo excited to be starting a new healthier and happier chapter in my life soon.

well only 54 days left until my surgery and I am so excited there has been so much going on in my life lately that it has made the months just fly by my mom came for a visit and shortly after she got home she became very ill and almost died she is fine and is now on her way to a full recovery, I just got home a week ago from visiting her and my family in the states, now I'm glad that there was no call asking if I want an earlier date because my mom would not have been able to be here for me(things happen for a reason and we don't always understand why and may get a little upset at first, then out of no where it becomes clear why it had to be the way it is) and I just became and Auntie for the first time on August 11 at 5:15 in the morning to a beautiful little girl, My other sister in law is getting married next month so we will be very busy planing a baby shower and finishing up last minute things before the wedding reception which should make next month go by very fast, also I have an older Daughter who will be going back to school next month, so before I know it October 6 2003 will be here.

I finally have a bit of time to sit and put a bit of my history down.
I'm 27 and really want to have a Lap RNY Surgery. I haven't been heavy all my life I was 130 lbs 7 years ago and in high school I was 150-140 lbs and now I'm 288. My mother had the RNY surgery 1 year ago and she is doing great. I'm afraid that I'll be turn down because medically I seem as healthy as other people, other that I have feet problems, and I get acid reflux, back problems, low energy,a hard time walking up stairs,and a number of other problems that have developed from me getting this heavy, but I haven't went to the Dr. for all of this cause I have two children and no car so I find I don't have as much time as I would like. My mom is scared because I'm just like her when she was my age and we have all this medical history of Morbid Obesity, heart conditions, stokes, high blood pressure, and I could go on, but I'm afraid that, that will not be enough I'm really at the point because I've watched my mom diet and I've been on diets,I've done the Slim Fast diet,I was a member of TOPS,I worked at a Fitness Club so I could afford to go to the gym all this worked for me but it was only temporary now as I'm older, I feel why should I have to put myself through some thing I know is going to ultimately going to fail. I like to Find a PHP that will work with me and help me to get referred to an RNY specialist, if anyone can help me to find one it would really help.
