well i know what you mean my husband was all for my wls but my mom sho si s very important part of my life but was totally against my band i eventuall told her i thought i might not do it and a couple days before i told her i was doing it just in case so she would not be mad a t everyone esle in case jsut incase. in the meantime she happened to see and ophra show that eased her mind so maybe you can get up online and show your mom it is a simple procedure wit minimal risk and tell her you will have the best doctor with you cause jesus will be with you . 2days post good luck

MY DATE IS AUGUST 20TH SEE YOU IN THE PICS:tt1::thumbup:

I agree with ajoneeen pleas find a respite or an adult daycare alo senoir plus will sometimes shop for your mom you have got to find an escape because if you don't if god forbid your mom passes you will have the smae regrets you do now except you will think that if you ahdn't felt this way and gave love it would have been different. But you are giving the ultimate love. You never said if you are a bander so i guess not just seeking help youmay need to talk to a professional to help you cope does your husband ehlp out he should and do you have siblings talk to them and ask you moms doctor to give her a mild sedative for whn you take her out keep loving her but let your dad know that you have to have some time away and aunt cousin whoever is coming over and not to be mean if not you will not be there and also take a dayjust for you and nobody but you check into a hotel and tell nobody where it is and the number star 67 before calling letting everyone know i am ok but i need this time love you and if you love me you will respect this. Love

So puddin how much weight di you begin with and what is your weight today and goal. Now what was the most difficult part of you pre and post and would you do this again. My op is th 20th of aug.

wow all you who have not been told about the liver shrinking talk to your doctor again because this is very important theliver lays on top of your stomache and is very heavy and in the way jsut check onit maybe your doctors know something mine didn't and i didn't have to starve but safety first and it didn't hurt to lose a few pounds so good look to you and god bless

well i really think everybody cheats at least once even though they think not with a juice or water just something and yes i am among those who had a a quarter of donut a sliver of fried fish boy did i want the whole peace but guilt got me and those three teaspoons of chnese on two seperate occassions but i di chew and spit so that is it i have 3 days to go for surgery and i will not i will not eat anything else my i feel that when you get stressed about food it is better to take one tiny bite i know i am wrong but i works for me then i am ok.

When i say bnad leader this means there was a meeting with our dietican and there were 6 in the class for pre op and we all scheduled for the same day about an hour apart i think thats cool though we will hav eprivate rooms we will be able to communicate and shar ethe joy and pain and help eachother through the day and hopefully form a bond and freindship. God louck to you keep in touch. Also i am not a computer wiz could you tell me how to make the tape measure every one can make but me thanks

Hey i was born down south in tenn. As foras bush he forgot about everybody but his folks you know? Well i am still praying for you all don therei had the pleasure of working with some would say victims for katrinia but i say the blessed because god saw fit to save whom he chose so you to are blessed. I live in alton ill. Where some that were force to evacuate were lodged so the tradgedy there brought new freinds and some new neighbors here may god continue to bless you all. Now how is you banding coming i 'll be having mine on th20th of this month i was sitting here chating and noticed as i went to rest my hand under myu stomache as i many time s do that there is not as much stomche there wow!
