vluckey 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Shame is the perfect word to describe it. But we've be ashamed for a long time before we had this surgery, haven't we????? I know I was whether I admitted it or not. I felt like a down right failure. I didn't tell hardly anyone. I didn't tell my Pastors so they could pray for me to have a safe surgery. Now I realize a few things. This is NOT a cakewalk. We still having to work at it. BUT I LOOOOOOOOOVE MY BAND and I am so glad I got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ1107 0 Posted February 16, 2006 I think we have all felt like that. I know I didn't tell anyone what I was doing. I lied to everyone about why I was off work. Only told my DH and parents. But now I don't care who knows. I'm proud of the choice I made. It is a tool and it does take work. But being about to take my daughter to the park was the biggest thing that changed my feeling of failure into one of success. She couldn't remember when I had run and played like that with her. I am a new mom and it has changed my life. Good luck and PM me anytime you need to talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
