Congrats!! Keep us posted on your progress..... Karen

First of all, I thought yall was a word!! LOL (I am a Texas girl too...) Secondly, I do nails in a salon, I talk alot and actually I find that when I am excited about something, it is really hard to NOT tell.....however, I am selective about who I tell. I completely agree about being honest, and if it hadnt been for one of my clients telling me about her experience with RNY I wouldnt have been researching this surgery either. And my sister and my dad both had bypass! Go figure! I have told alot of people, and then there are quite a few that I havent told. One of my clients, for example, has a cousin that was supposed to have RNY and I asked her if she had had it done yet. Her response was surprisingly negative! She commented about how she would NEVER have that done because everybody she knows that has had it done looks to be about 75 years old in the face!! gasp!! Needless to say, she is NOT one of the people that I told. I think I will use Tiffany's line in response to people like that! So, be honest....but be selective about who and when you tell.....follow your gut!

What a great story! I am glad that Angie is doing good. I think if I could convince my family (mainly my husband) about going to Mexico, I would SOOO use Dr. Aceves. Prayers are still going up.... Congrats Angie!! Karen

Yall all rock!! Thanks so much for being the cheering squad for me! I am moving forward no matter what! I have an appt for my EKG, Chest XRay, and full blood work ups to be done on Wednesday. My consult with the surgeon is on Monday the 17th. Called my other sister, who is unemployed at the present, and made tentative arrangements for her to come and stay with me for a few days so that my husband wont have to miss work....etc. I am ready.... Thanks again! You all are who I turn to.....:001_smile: Karen

That is hilarious! I love that idea! LOL And I think you are exactly right about the him feeling like I havent thought it through or making decisions too quickly. I guess it feels like that to him because he has 8 days of this, compared to my months and months, and secretly years of thinking about it.... My sister said to me today, "dont worry, pretty soon you will rock his world with the lights out!" LOL I told her I was gonna rock his world with the lights ON!! (sorry if that is TMI):001_smile:

Congrats! That is AWESOME!!

Congrats on making the decision to take control of your life! I will keep you in my prayers.... Karen p.s. we have some friends in Abbeyville....I am in Ponchatoula, near Hammond.

Congrats on getting your date set.....will keep you in my prayers

Trust your gut! It will all come out good in the end. Just trust your own judgment. Good luck to you!

I am sooo happy for you! I love the pillow story!! That is way cool! Keeping you in my prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery! Karen

Yea!! I am so happy for you!! Keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you all for the information. It is very helpful....there is so much to consider besides just the price.

Congrats to you!!

I found a tongue scraper at walmart. It looks like a loop with a handle. They are usually located with the toothbrushes and floss...

Call me stupid, but what is the MOM or the Metamucil for? Just fiber supplement??

I have an appointment on May 17th with Dr. Borland in New Iberia, La. Now, I am working on getting the money together that I need for the surgery. I dont have a co-signer (other than my husband, and the one place I have gone thru wont let me use him) so I am going a couple of different routes.... I am not letting that slow me down though! I am excited about my consult with the doc....

Christie We actually just refinanced our home about 8 months ago, so I dont know if that is a viable option, but it does stir some thoughts in my head....lol Thanks for the advice! Karen p.s. I am hoping to have my surgery late June.....keep me posted on yours

Congratulations!! That is so awesome! And how cool is it that you are scheduled so soon??? Keep us posted on your progress!

What an awesome experience this will be for the both of you! Keep us posted on your progress...
