So the party went very well, and even the 2 "rudies" were well behaved! And quiet and respectful, for the most part, even though they were too chicken to face me! We had about 25 folks, young and old, who came and had a great time, a few tears, lots of food and fun with the yard games...including "combat croquet"...you gotta try it!!!!

Dave's last chemo before surgery is this coming week, and he has a bad hand infection. Hopefully we can get that addressed tomorrow morning. Then, come September - and we don't yet know the date - is the surgery. He's doing well, but frail-looking, and, of course, fatigued. This last chemo will have one less drug, so maybe that will ease up on some of the side effects. Hope so.

I thank you all for your continuing prayers, and VERY helpful advice! I will keep you up to date as things progress. May the Good Lord truly bless all of you and all you do.....love, Jenifer

I'm late to the party, and can't think of a thing to add to all the advice you've already received. I did want you to know that you and your husband continue to be in my thoughts and prayers, and will continue to be. Praying without ceasing.......

Thank you, you are so sweet! Dave's last chemo treatment until after surgery, began this morning. His white blood count is on the low side of normal, so he will have a shot for that on Friday, after the rest of the chemo is finished. His blood pressure is higher than we'd like, but that may be "white-coat" syndrome. Little nausea (YAY!), and it appears the Avastin causes the dryness which in turn causes the nose-bleeds. None of that this treatment, as he needs to stop that one 4-6 weeks prior to surgery (for the bleeding). We're on board for scheduling the PET scan and meeting with the surgeon in the next 2 weeks. We head to Montana for his annual law enforcement refresher next week, so a little break for me!!! I get to go with!!! YAY! House and dog sitter are in place, and Lord willing, all will be peaceful and calm!!!

I got him some dark chocolate covered walnuts and WOW are those good! He has a huge milkshake everyday, and is thoroughly sick of them! Gotta find fattening treats for him, but it is a challenge. He is maintaining the weight he is at, but it is hard! I don't seem to have that problem! I am happy to stay where I am at. These next couple of weeks will be crazy, so I'll try hard to keep in touch. Thanks, all for your prayers, we sure appreciate them!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
