Got a DATE!

[marielalovesherfamily03 6]

hey everyone.

Guess what? I GOT A DATE!!! April 9th. Whoot Whoot! Now I'm nervous but excited. Having all these weird feelings. I see overweight people

Dining out or walking, I Ask myself... Why not get the surgery??? How can you live your life that way?? Is it unfair for me to think this of others because I'm going thru this?? Weird feelings?!!!

Yup it is. You made this decision for you, knowing your circumstances. You don't know theirs. They might not be able to afford it. They might not want to take the risks because they have small kids at home. They might be ok in their skin. They might have a medical condition that precludes them having surgery.

The trouble with VSG is that people think it's magic and it's for everyone. It's not. In fact that kind of thinking is dangerous. My mother is over weight and she is very clearly NOT a good candidate for this surgery because she knows she won't stick to the rules and would snack her weight back on. She also knows someone who nearly died having it, so she'll just be one of the people you see. But my mom is happy and healthy in her life, so don't wish this on her Just take care of yourself.

It is unfortunate that not everyone has the resources to have this done. You (and I and many of us) are very blessed

That's for bringing me to reality! I think that I have these racing thoughts because honestly I have always seemed to be unhappy and I am assuming that everyone is the same.

Thanks

Absolutly RIGHT! I think that if it was not for my insurance. I would not have this opportunity at this tool! I would be totally a MESS!

I know right! We need to compare notes and get through this together! I go for my Endoscopy Friday. I started panicking today . I think I'm over it now and ready to get this started!! So happy for you on getting your date! I started crying and almost crashed my car into a trash can when I found out lol. Needless to say, I thought I was going to have to wait 6 months. I was pleasantly surprised!
