I think we could do next April somewhere warm. I'm in Texas and it's pretty warm here at that time but I was thinking maybe somewhere by a beach. Gulf shores, Alabama is a pretty place...

Thanks for all the encouragement. I do think its cause I have a moment to look up with my kiddo gone. I'm still working alot between my 1 day with peds and working hospice. I just feel off kilter a bit. Tomorrow makes 8 weeks and I feel I should have done a bit better than I have.

Need some prayers today..in not sure if its pms or what but I'm seriously fighting moodiness and I wouldn't say depression but just feeling down. I'm missing my kiddo who has been gone 2 weeks now and has a few more weeks to go. I've hit this wall weight wise and I've done it all right. Idk but I just feel like I need some me time. Having just feelings like I'm stretched thin and I'm not totally sure why cause things are actually a tad slower since my kiddo went out to visit his grandparents. Hoping the husband gets his bandages and stitches out tomorrow and back to mobility. It's kinda no fun feeling like I'm doing it all.

Awe hang in there! We all go thru it so it is great we have each other. ((((Hugs))))

Prayers going out, everything will be ok! I had mine out Dec 18 2009 and cooked Christmas dinner, baked six cheesecakes, decorated Cookies and made five candies. So he will be up and running in no time.

Sorry I'm a little late.

My name is Nicole. I am 30 years old been married 5 years. Our anniversary was Saturday which was the reason for the delay. I have had 5 miscarriages and after the third was diagnosed with diabetes and sent straight to insulin. After the 4th we decided to look into the surgery. My mother passed away 21 months ago of cancer and all she asked was I take care of my body. Hell or high Water I will make this work for me.

I am from middle eastern decent and my husband is a 5 year freshy in the us. So I'm having a little trouble making our ethnic foods fit. But one day at a time.

We had a small kitchen fire a month prior to surgery. We won't be back home til September. Lots of trials and tribulations. But I'm strong ill make it thru!!

I am glad to know each and everyone of you although my husband is super supportive, it's different when you talk to someone who's been thru it.

Thanks for being here for me.

STILL in the er!. They had to another ultrasound, and then he will be transferred to a Madison hospital. He needs another test of his pancreas and all the ducts. This is because his liver function test came back way out of whack. What a long day. Its hard watching a child in pain, even though he is 22, and 6'4". He is still my little boy!

I hope there is nothing more serious than his gallbladder. Gallbladder removal is so routine and young people recover pretty quickly. It doesn't matter how old your baby is - he is still your baby and it's hard to see them suffering. And moms worry about them so! I hope all goes well and he's feeling better soon... and you, too!

Both my girls had their gallbladders out. Dawn two years ago an Heather last summer. Dawn's was definitely more severe. She was having two bad attacks (and sometimes more) per week but didn't want to schedule surgery because she was also in the middle of rare cataract removal and lens replacement (complete with lazik) on both eyes. (Thank you O'Bama for letting them stay on my insurance until 26yrs!). Heather had the same thing a year later - both the rare cataract development and the gallbladder removal. Twins!!!!

Well, hang in there, you are tough. Take care of yourself first, so you will be ready when your child comes back and while hubby is on the mend.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
