SUCH A GREAT ATTITUDE!!! Keep it up!!!!

Good Luck Roe.....I think you will be fine....you will probably not have to worry about that after surgery. I have the same problem.....don't sweat it!

ahhh THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS!!! CONGRATS!!! ) I remember the feeling and what a great feeling..... God is amazing and comes through for us when we need it most!

My surgery is a go for this Friday at 12:30pm. I was able to come up with enough with the help of a very wonderful friend and spoke with the hospital this morning and they said they would take what I have and I can make payments on the rest...... I am so overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion......this is a good day! I want to thank everyone who prayed and sent best wishes to me. We have all experienced negativity plenty in our lives and to find a place where I have been met with nothing but support and understanding is amazing. Talking with many of you has been such a wonderful part of my beginning steps toward my journey and I am looking forward to really getting to know you guys. I want to say a special thanks to Diane, Kab, Dee, Diva, Wearyourpassion, Roe, and Glenda. You guys helped me get through these last several days with the encouraging words and messages sent. Diane you are truly and angel. God has blessed me with meeting you wonderful woman on here and I can't thank him or you enough. DID I MENTION.....MY SURGERY IS A GO! GOD IS GOOD....thank you for helping me help myself :Banane44:

that is awesome!!! Keep it up!!

*tear* THANK YOU GUYS! I will keep you posted!!!

well wishes....and a speedy recovery!

Day 13 and 19lbs down too! YAY we are doing GREAT! and you are so right about this being so much more than just loosing weight...I know more about myself know than I did 13 days ago. SO PROUD OF YOU!!! WOOT WOOT!!!:bananajump:

it may have been just that.....a dream. I am 8 days with no food only liquid for what was supposed to be my pre op diet. I had my appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning for all my test at the hospital for surgery for next Friday. Then I received a phone call from Robin this morning at the hospital. (well let me take a step back) I was told a few weeks ago that I needed to pay 20% of the cost per my insurance. I asked, "okay, so do I need the full amount by the time of surgery?" (which I figured to be about $2000.00) I was told your surgeon is covered 100% and the hospital will bill you. Well..I still figured I would need to have something so just in case I had about $600. THIS IS NOT THE CASE....which takes us back to the current problem. Robin called to tell me this morning that I need to have $2189.63 BY TOMORROW. :eek: :angry_smile: HOW CAN THIS BE? I can't even begin to tell you where my frame of mind is right now. I am on the biggest emotional roller coaster I have ever been on. One second I have fighting tears, the next I am fine, then I am so mad I want to punch someone, then it's full on tears...How could I be so close to my life long dream and have it in my hands and then snatched away so quickly. If they had told me this when I asked maybe I would have been able to do something....but telling me the day before leaves me with no options....leaves me with nothing and heartbroken. My mind is spinning with trying to figure something out.........after not eating for 8 days I have the urge to go and splurge but I am fighting it PLEASE GOD.....HELP me figure something out. :crying:

Good luck to you. and CONGRATS!!!! Take a picture....it is great motivation during the pre op diet! I am day 12 and I have lost 17lbs so far...... YAY...that is motivation too.... Wishing you the best!

Really enjoyed your post. Appreciate the detail. I have been curious about what we really go through right after surgery and the days that follow. Thank you. And it is wonderful to hear that you are doing so well.

thank you Dee!
