Consultation being scheduled!



Recommended Posts

So I'm really nervous! I have done my research forever a year and I have finally made my decision to do it. Just waiting for my benefits to be verified and get my consult scheduled!

How do you guys deal with people who are negative and against the surgery (RNY) ? I always have people trying to talk me out of getting it and its annoying.

I've only had one person try to talk me out of this, and crazy enough, it was the tech who works in the pulmonary doctor's office. I very politely told him that I had the support of three highly qualified physicians and have done my own research & thanked him for his concern. You will hear horror story after horror story, mostly from I'll-informed, ignorant people. I've found that my best bet is to smile and walk away or change the subject. It is nobody else's business!

My favorite reply is my body is not a democracy, so you don't get a vote.

I didn't tell anyone I had it done only person that knows is JESUS and he will never judge me.

It's hard to explain how it feels to walk in my shoes I didn't want to hear any negativity and I don't I love it this way! ;)

I read it somewhere, perhaps on this forum, loved it and use it.

I've only told my parents and boyfriend. They are all in support of me and have agreed with me to keep it to ourselves.
