Thanks Karen for your thoughts. I called the office this week and still nothing. I am not sure what they are waiting on. We are ready on this end. Well as ready as I will ever be. This weekend when I would change Curtis' diaper he would yell that it hurt. The little thing is sticking out more and I am sure it's bothering him. I just want it over with....I will call again next week and see where I can get with it. I don't want it near Christmas because tihs is the first year he is really going to get into it. So I hope it's within the next few weeks or they wait until the first of the year.

Thanks again for asking....We are still trucking away.

Ok here is where we stand...Curtis still isn't scheduled and want be before the 29th because the Dr is out of the office. So if we can't get it done the first week of Dec I really want to wait til the first of the year. Now as if I didn't have enough to worry about is I think my division has been sold. (Karen I know we work together please don't say anything we aren't suppose to know, lets do lunch soon and I will tell you all about it.) So now I don't know if or for how long I will have a job more importantly at this point insurance. So now I am worrying myself to death over this. All the what if's? My SIL is getting me a updated resume from a friend who does them professionally. So please if you can keep my family in your thoughts and prayers....for Curtis and for me that I can continue with no insurance problems for Curtis. Also this is my networking plea...if you know of anyone hiring in the area please keep me updated...at this point I will consider most anything!

As always thanks for letting me talk here...it really helps not keeping it in...You guys are the best!

Kim, I'll give you a call and/or drop you a note at work tomorrow. Please try not to worry; everything will work out. Is Curtis' OK or at least not in pain while he awaits a surgery date?

Hey everyone we have a date...His surgery is scheduled for Dec 7th @ 9:30 am. We will go in on the 6th for them to clean him out again. I know what to expect there this time so that want be so bad. I am hoping my sister is off that day so she can come with me again...she is an RN and is so helpful with this. So I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I am SO glad we are moving forward on this...he should be good for Christmas..

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as our journey gets under way. I will try to get ahold of one of my NC friends to let them know how it goes so they can post it for me.

Thanks for your support...

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
