SarahGirl 0 Posted December 29, 2010 Hey everyone!! Okay so...my journey is going by seemingly more quickly. What was ~supposed~ to happen was to not even see the doctor until next week.. but I was on Facebook this morning and my mom came into the room and asked me how I felt about seeing the doctor tomorrow..which would technically be today seeing as how it's 2am here haha. I was like "Okayy.." So I go for bloodwork in about 6 hours. To be perfectly honest, I am terrified because of my own family history. I'm adopted and I've got a brother a year to the day older than me (Weird, right?? haha!) I was told that he is already a diabetic...at 21. Because we're so close in age, I'm sooo scared that the doctor is gonna tell me that I'm also in the beginning stage of being a diabetic at the age of 20. My mom keeps telling me that it's gonna be fine and chances are pretty enormous that everything's still normal. I swear, my procedure date CANNOT be scheduled soon enough!! So that's what's going on at the moment. I'm still really up in the air about when the right time will be when I tell everyone. I wanted to wait until I got an actual date but knowing my dad and from past experiences, our whole family will know by the time this week is over. I swear, our whole church is gonna be told Sunday. **Sigh** Anyway, I'll update everyone when I find out what the next steps will be!! Love you guys!!

Hey SarahGirl, With the risk of sounding my age....mom's usually are right!! She knows your habbits and probably feels strongly that things will be ok!! Just run with it girl and enjoy the adventure! Keep us posted! God bless, Jaleena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acs0618 0 Posted December 29, 2010 Hey there! I will be getting banded on 1.10.11! I started the process back in October and didn't tell anyone (other than my parents) until the middle of December. I was anxious at first, but once you start telling people, it's kind of liberating!! Good luck! ~Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
