My husband was wondering about that....go figure! LOL!

Well, I am currently waiting to hear from the dr's office to schedule my surgery. I always said I would NEVER have any type of weightloss surgery. My husband's aunt had gastric and almost died...another lady I know had a friend who died...so why would I do this to myself??? Well, after going to a lapband seminar I was not scared for one...and I knew this would work for me. I am 34...married for almost 14 years...2 kids ages 9 and 6. I want them to have a healthy mom who is around forever (insert evil laugh here!!! :devil:LOL!!!!). My husband is legally blind. We do not know if he will ever go completely blind, but I want him to see me as a HOT THIN woman at least once....just in case. I am very excited to get this done and with his help I know I will get through the rough days.

I am so excited to get this done. I want my husband and my kids to have a healthy wife/mom. My daughter (who is 9 and about 62 lbs) said "So you'll be skinny like me??" I laughed and said "Well, you look just like me when I was your age and I do not want you to look like me when you're my age. I won't be as skinny as you but I will be skinnier than I am now." Kids say the darndest things don't they??? Congrats on your loss so far. I just can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I am waiting for a call to schedule my surgery. Lo and behold, my phone rings today....BUT it wasn't to schedule my surgery...it was to tell my that my doctor is having surgery and they can't schedule mine until they know when he will be back. I am so frustrated. I just wanted to cry, but I'm at work so I didn't. I was so tired yesterday and today I fell better, but this just pushed my to my limit. I know I should hope he's ok, but I'm feeling quite selfish at the moment. Ok...there is my venting for the day. I just want my lunchbreak to come quick so I can go eat! :ohmy:

I would have went off....LOL....I also would have cried. That really stinks that happened. Obviously there wasn't a sign on the door that said to go around. I'm sure you weren't the first, and probably not the last. Good luck with the rest of your stuff!!!!!

I'm waiting to hear from the dr to schedule my surgery and I KNOW I will have days like you are having. I am dreading those days, but I want this soooo bad. My husband is legally blind...and losing more each day...and I want him to see his hot thin wife before he loses all sight so I am using that as my inspiration. I am glad to have the boards to vent or to offer inspiration..... Keep your head up...we're all here for eachother!!!!!!
