Thanks I appreciate the advice and support!

So southernsleever....you would suggest walking??? lol. Do you mean walk all the time of after surgery in the hospital? Like does it help to start walking now? I have been walking about a mile a day.

A waste of life Another lovely FAT EXPERIENCE story for ya'll. My friend is a teacher and I was working with a consumer who happened to be volunteering in her classroom. Basically as a supported living specialist I was helping this person to volunteer. There was one older teacher in the classroom who was a teachers helper. Apparently after I left the classroom, this woman had some harsh things to say about me. The one that hurt m the most was that I am a "waste of life". She said a person my size isn't even fit to live and that I was just a waste of space. Can you imagine? I mean I was very nice to this woman, very polite and she is judging me by my body size and not my heart....it really hurt!! I can't wait to lose weight and show her that I can be beautiful on the outside and on the inside....and she will still be ugly on both accounts!!

Thanks ya'll.....I appreciate the support and the laughs!!

I too needed this .... I have been so afraid but at 429 I know I have a lot to fear if I DON'T have surgery. I wish ya'll could come along and hold my hand...lol. I'm very nervous and haven't even got my date yet....just doing all the pre-op testing.

You must be so excited!!! wishing you the best!

Congrats!!! glad all is going well with you! Save some room for me on the losers bench....I'm coming soon!!

Good to know Lynn Thank-you! Yes I would be on heparin before and after surgery...then go back on my warfarin. I think I should be okay....just nerves, especially after a big event like a PE!

I don't have an answer....sorry! Just wanted to say CONGRATS on your surgery and happy to see that you are doing so well!!

Way to go!!! That's awesome! Congrats!!
