What are You Thankful for? Happy Thanksgiving!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone: It is Thanksgiving Day, so what are you thankful for?? I will start by saying:

  1. My health, having health insurance, and being banded
  2. My family, they are always there for me
  3. My friends, give me strength and encouragement
  4. Being employed, when so many people are being layed off
  5. Having a home to live in, when so many are facing foreclosure

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I am thankful for so many things, so to just list a few: I am happy to have my whole family together for the weekend. I am happy that at least I still have my job....my husband got laid off on Friday from his job that he had been at for 15 years. So there goes our health insurance. But at least I had my surgery 2 months ago so I am thankful for that. I am thankful to be in good health as is the rest of my family, currently. ANd last but least, I am thankful for this forum....it has helped me thru so many obstacles. Hope everyone has a wonderful day, and that we all remain thankful even when times are hard.

I am thankful for my children. They are healthy, happy and well adjusted.

I'm thankful for my band, not quite as well adjusted, but getting there.

I'm thankful for my home, drafty as it is, it's mine, and it's home.

I'm thankful for my family. Even the ones that aren't as encouraging.

I am thankful that my band has gotten me down to only 1 pound from goal and a normal BMI in less than one year.

I am thankful that my weight loss has helped me to become healthy and pregnant (afer having a child 16 years ago and thinking I would never have another).

I am thankful to have support through this website, family and friends on this journey that helped me to lose almost 100% of my excess weight and to reach a goal that I never really thought was truly even possible.

I am thankful that for the first time in my life, I will have achieved my New Years Resolutions.

I am also thankful for the usual things, family, friends, employment, health, stability :0).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
