...MIND OVER MATTER. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MIND THEN IT DON T REALLY MATTER!....

PS. Please excuse my poor spelling, you try to post or text with a beak and see how good You Can Do! ,,,,H.T.H.🐥

We chickes🐥 thank you very much for your kind cosideration. Life is rough when you have to scratch for,your next bug, you never know if Farmer Brown or his wife will show up with any feed for,you! And they wonder why I'm squawking all the time! ,Yours Sincerely, Henrietta T Hen🐥🐣🐥

It's gonna work, it's gonna work . I am jumping up and down with excitement and at my age and degree of incontinence that might not be a pretty thing. I am so happy for you, only thing that could make me happier is hearing my,own surgery date. One,of the posters this morning gave me an added boost of hope. She is meeing with the same 3 specialized people I'm meeting with on May 24th. Hers is her pre-surgical appointment, dare I dream mine will be also? Oh.I hope I hope I hope🙆😝

I have an appointment with just these 3 for May 24th. Dare I hope this is more than a Hi Nice to Meet You session? See, I'm rather,a special case, I have been through another hospital's program twice. 1st time, my job terminated, lost that insurance coverage, was,going to have to switch to my secondary, didn't know secondary was less stringent and. I had done enough for them, dropped it bec a use I thought all was lost, that was January 2016. Returned last Autumn at the prompting of my PCP, we were trying to assist,my,own weight loss with phenteramine, I gained,30,pounds instead of losing. All my consults etc,were or close to 2 years old so I did everything over again for attempt#2. Finished everything up and was waiting for my surgery date to be set up, imagine my surprise when surgeon's office called, gave,me a cockamaimy excuse and " kicked me to the curb" Oh they phrased it a little fancier but thats what it was. Let's see,, I should be able,to remember the phrases, they are burned into my brain like somebody took a woodburner to it." Based on a faulty report from one of your evaluations, Surgeon(name available,upon request) and his partners have voted not to preform your Bariatric surgery at this or any other time" now in the employment world there is another common term, synanom is" excretement container", That's what it seemed to me. So after crying a few days, I picked myself up,looked at me and my red puffy eyes and said "Well old girl, are YOU going to let them get away with this?" dusted the diet of them off me and my life, made an appointment at a PreSurgery Seminar at the facility I should have gone to in the first place. Why had I gone to that original place? My PCP had recommended it, thought it was more Christian-based and would treat me better. Pfooey, I had turned the other cheeck, got it bruised also, I'll take my chances with the heathens at my State University! Seminar was March 9th, filled out application form, signed Transfer Of Information Form to get all my records from Verdompt ExProgram, and went home to wait. Less then 5 business days later, was called back, was told they were. very interested, could i come to Columbus for a meeting with their staff psychologist Dr Kramer at Martha Morehouse Pavilion on April 25th, did so , had great evaluation and nice one-on-one chat with him. Next step was a meeting with the same group,as prior poster spoke of. Can I hope and dream this could also be MY presurgical meeting? Oh please Sweet Lord in Heaven I hope so, I started out seeking Bariatric Surgery,in August 2015, not even a lady elephant is pregnant THAT LONG! Maybe May 24th I'll hear good things? Going to feel that way until then!

Hi Stargirl19! I hope yo

Now it is your Day of Days 😷and i,wanted to be first to wish you only Good Things in Anchorage, Please update us when you feel good enough!😝

Please update us when baby girl👶 arrives. Isn't it nice that,when she is born nobody will make fun of her size or weight?😝

Well peeps I broke,down today and watched another episode of my 600 pound life after I swore I never would. It was the episode Kirsten's Story. Found myself appalled and yet fascinated,by the proceedings. I hope this doesn't sound upsetting but it was like watching an caged animal in the zoo, I didn't feel a link with her at all., So I finished watching with a sense of detachment. I am glad I am not a part of that show. 😕

Hey people, you me and almost everyone else---We are going to do fine! That's why all these posters, who have problems, they are very rare. Sure there might be a little discomfort, but nothing that can't be gotten through. I myself might do a little surgery whimpering, everything I have is a little creaky and cranky at best, but it and I will,be fine. I might not heal up as fast as you young ones but I still will. I'm no longer a Mexican jumping bean, But it still beats breaking down more, having strokes, having heart attacks, going blind or having my kidneys fizzle out. All those obesity causes or makes worse. I love me enough to give myself,the gift of surgery,😷 and before another birthday, another change of season, another holiday passes. I shall have this accomplished. This I have promised myself and I will not stop until it finally happens.😝

You can get both at WalMart, RiteAid, CVS and I think probably Krogers. Either one under $5. I went to a Senior Citizen Healtfair and got them free. One of the few perks in being old as dirt. You'd be surprised what one can glean. I'm now set for pens, scratch pads, backscratcher, key rings, rubber jar openers, bottle openers, weird but in Ohio the generation prior to me called them "church keys " What kind of larceny, petty or otherwise , were they up,to during the Depression ? Anyway a lot of things, my son even won a prize st one of the games. Lady running it said So you're over 62? He said with a straight face "No but living with my mother ages you fast!" Laughed and gave him his prizes A coffee cup,with coaster inscribed with a nursing home name. Really neat, you could use it as a coaster or put it on to,pof the cup, that way it kept,the heat in, really could use it to brew tea when you didn't want a whole pot full🌸.😝🌺

And well you should be, young men like your son have helped keep,me free. FYI I would look terrible in a burka, my body is tent-shaped enough already.🌷🌻😝🌺🌸🍀

Well you are less than 72 hours away! May it be satisfying, smooth and enjoyable for you both. Missionary not necessarily, but do a little improvising, remember it's like riding a bicycle but a whole lot more fun👍🌈. Maybe not rockets🚀but sail smooothly into port⛵Have fun Kiss.

@mistique90 I hope you get to feel better soon. Maybe you'll look back someday,and see this as a tiny bump in the road. Try really hard to get more fluids in, I think,you'll start to feel better when you do.😝👍

@jules1, Taos is at her hospital being checked in, have you left for your surgery also? Sending my best wishes to you for smooth surgery,speedy,healing and return to good health and that your future life will be beautiful in Canberra. I've always wanted to visit OZ,my life isn't over yet,it could still happen? Practice breathing smoothly, it will be good results. 😝👍

Oops Yandi I guess I'm rushing things, I missread your post, guess I thought it was yesterday instead of next week. Maybe I'm just anxious for you to have it? Keep relaxed and do let us in on it, when its completed😝

So Yandi how did your surgery go? Haven't heard a peep out of you since April 27th.😕

I know our Canadian posters seem to have a long wait for approval, but whose surgery was the quickest to,be approved?

Hey sweetie you are a good kid and he's going to be so proud of you when he sees you again. He'll probably grab you, hug you and give you a big kiss, wish we all could be there to see it!🌈

And the numbers keep going down on that scale. Good for you Texas Mommy, are you feeling any better?

Don't be afraid to keep calling, I'd. zap,them Friday or next Monday at the latest. You will surely get your good news soon.👍
