Good apple

Thanks for the mention of the baby spoons, I wondered it that would be helpful!

That's a good thought and I am glad it is working out for you both! Will keep it in mind, thanks for sharing.

I hear ya! Last time I tried that at a hotel with a big, deep tub..it caused a big flood with water spilling over the edge!

Wow! Baristas tic is very cool! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello, I am in NC too and just starting the process. What doc and hospital are you planning to use?

EXCITING! Let us know how you are doing!!

I'll have to give the whole thing some thought and appreciate the feedback.

You go girl! Love your user name. Very cute!

Best of luck! Pretty soon you will have to change your user name to Skinny Mcskinny pants!

Dr. Sharp sounds like the perfect name for a surgeon!

Difficult too that we work around a lot of doctors and nurses, most in my little section are not, but there are lots of them around here!

Sure thing, Ms. Ladywarren. I am glad to find other girls in this area are in the same boat! I will see if I can figure out to follow you here, I would be glad to hear how it goes with triangle girls! Too, I appreciate hearing the good words on the docs.

I am right there with you, I picked Dr. Enochs and hope to schedule the surgery at Rex. They seemed very familiar with the insurance/process.

I have enjoyed reading everyone's responses even as heartbreaking as some might be. Similar to others, I've had lots of little straws over time... When I was ? 5 or 6 out shopping with my mother, her saying "Broad shoulders are good on football players, just not on little girls" I wasn't fat then, but I was/ still have a large frame. A former supervisor of mine told me (thanks....) someone else we knew asked, so is she (referring to me) just gonna get bigger and bigger? The last ? 10 years some of the most difficult. I was escorted from a swing ride at the fair because neither me or the guy working the ride could strap me into the seat. I haven't been able to fasten a seat belt on a plane - ever. And finally a doctor telling me last year, you are not going to live at this weight. You will never make it to use your retirement. You'll get cancer or have a stroke. ( she went on and I on about it). While she was a bitch to tell me that (didn't know me, had never met me before, for all she knew I could have flipped out with that news), she was right. After trying one more year at dieting, I had my initial appt last week and broke the new stormy husband this weekend.

Thanks, Ellie 123. I really appreciate the post and I hope you are well.
