Would be nice to have a roadie in the car with me if I decide to drive!

Isn't someone in Florida? (EDITED REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE NOTICED MY IDIOCY?!)

That'd be me...I'm in Jacksonville FL (northeast corner). Where bouts are you again?

I'm still trying to figure out money and whatnot, but I think DH is ok with it....we're not used to being apart (seriously...almost every minute not at work is spent together, or at least at the same physical location, so this will be a new one if i get to go...LOL)

You name it, they have it, altho April is a bit "early" in the season... the region is more a winter (skiing) & summer (boating, Water sports) area.

Off the top of my head, they have... boating, white Water rafting, horseback riding, antiquing, a spa, biking, hiking, nature trails & waterfalls, historic areas... altho last week we mostly just hung out around the cabin enjoying the fireplace & hot tub, w/a few nature walks in the gorgeous woods & along the lake each day!

If you'd like to see some photos from last week, go to: Photoblog & Muses - David S. Raimist

It's my dh's photo blog.

No, he's not a professional, but a paid hobbiest. He has had several exhibits + sells his work at a few places. He enjoys it but fears it becoming a "job". We joke that he was a hidden artist beneath his computer nerd exterior! :mad:

Panda- I'm NE Alabama (Huntsville). It takes me 6 hours about to get to Panama City Florida, it's a straight shot down 65, if that helps at all as to where I'm located.

Those are great pics! I'm in for antiquing, drinking, chatting, uhm.. I like nature walks too as long as it's nothing steep.. I have a bad central balance and I fall quite easily. I loved horseback riding, then in high school my friends pointed out the 'poor horse' in a picture of me riding.. and I've never gotten back on one since! Hopefully by April I'll weigh a decent enough weight to be on a horse! Ohhh and SPA! I'm all about spas.

I love hiking and taking pictures and shopping and sitting on my butt drinking wine and talking and laughing. I don't have any fears about lacking things to do!! We'll have a ball no matter what!

      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.

      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.
