My goodness I am so impatient…..!!! If only I knew about this procedure before I blew all my money on nothing. I’m still waiting to have my appoint with the nhs consultant on 3rd July. But I got this funny feeling that they are going to try and push me into getting bypass because of my high BMI. Either way, I am not going to let them change my mind…and if I have to I’m going to get it done privately if they refuse to do the op.

Im sooo sick and tired of being overweight…..:thumbdown:i can see it now 2009 is going to be my year!! :thumbup:I know that it is probably going to be the hardest few years of my life getting the weight off, but it is so going to be worth it!

I don’t really know what im going to say to work why im going to be having two weeks off, I suppose I could pull a sickie but then they will ask for medical evidence. I am telling as few people as possible, that being my sister whom im very close to and my mother. (still haven’t done it yet). Mainly because she is off on holiday and second im not to sure how she is going to react. Either way I kno that the lapband is for me and im going ahead no matter if people approve or not. Afterall they don’t have to carry around all of this excess weight! Im always doing things for others, its time I did something for myself. Am not looking forward to the pre op diet seeing as I have to do it for a month….ive done the Cambridge diet before and ifi can do that im sure I can get through this.

Enough of my rambling for today…..:cool::tt1:

let me tell u, i wanted to tell NO ONE but i ended up having to tell EVERYONE mostly because my Mom told my 1st grader that i was in the hospital which required an explanation to which she replied "she is having an operation to help her lose some weight!" needless to say, he told everyone at school, his dad told everyone at his job, no secrets or privacy for me! after my initial anger i decided to get over it & roll with it cuz everybody can look at me & see plain as day that i'm fat so who cares if they know i took steps to correct it! dont worry about it, tell the folks in human resources & take the time off. besides, isn't it their job to respect your privacy? if it gets out & you know you didnt tell, sue em!! good luck---

Hey!

Thanks for the comment...i think deep down the reason why i dont want to tell people is because of the negativity. When i was thinking about surgery 4yrs ago, i told people and got such negativity from them, more so that it made me change my mind.(which i regret) I know my sister will not say anything, but i know if i tell my mum, she will tell my auntie who will then tell so and so and so! Ultimately if people did find out, technically there isnt anything they could do, but i soooooo dont have time to hear what they have to say!!!!! I kno it sounds terrible but i wasnt even sure at a point to tell my mum (i know it sounds bad) i was going to get it done and tell her after. But i was having one of my moments and its the least i owe her to tell her.

Ive decided im going to tell work that im taking some annual leave...i really dont want it getting around.
