I agree Terry---all day long I have thought of it off and on, that what if you cannot make it....it is not something my mind accepts---let alone the heart. I KNOW your Mom is #1 priority---and I am very worried about her health as well, but it is just too sad to contemplate you not being there......makes me wanna go pout in the corner!

Thanks guys, ya'll are so sweet! I would cry for days if I couldn't go...and I don't cry often.

All I can tell you at this point is that she seems fine! Well, at least no worse than she has been the last 2-3 weeks! The last time she was in the hospital I thought she would never make it out and she seems better now than she did then. My point is that I am amazed at what the doctors can do with tweaking her medication and getting her stronger again, so I am very hopeful. She's just so dang sick.... advanced COPD, congestive heart failure, and light pneumonia but with no fever. She's alert, relatively cheerful, color is good, strength is pretty good, oxygenation is good, BP is good. Amazing. I feel confident she'll be discharged...but her situation is sooooo delicate, it can change any minute.

So anyway, that's the update. Thanks so much for your prayers. I love having you girls to talk to. It helps so much.

I saw your name and was afraid to open the thread, but thankfully it was better news. We'll continue to pray that she holds her own and that you'll be able to be with us in a few days. It just wouldn't be an official gathering without YOU!!

Terri-it really is amazing what happens when drs make the slightest medication adjustment. I hope that she continues to get better & stronger every day. Let me know if I can do anything!

Okay, I am going to pack all my stuff in my car on Wednesday so that I don't forget anything. Terry, do you know if the grocery list is finalized? Has everyone made all their requests??

Extra beach towels, extra sunscreen, extra bathroom toiletries to share... those are on my list... Anyone need me to bring anything else in order for you to make room in your bag?

      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.
