i got a date!!!!!!!

july 13, 2005. i am so excited but i still have to lose 16 more lbs before my date and i have to come up with the program fee. it seems i keep hitting brick walls but i just have to keep the faith and do what i can do. i lost 16.5 and i am going lose at least that much more before july 13. things are so hard when you are on disability with a fixed income but i made it this far, i am going to finish and have this surgery. i have a strong family history of early sudden death due to heart related problems and obesity. i have to do this to see my children grow up and just to be able to play outside with them without sitting to play ball or taking a break every other minute. i love my kids and just would love to here to see them graduate, go to college adn see some grandkids one day. right now i am emotional so i have to close.

That's great Tabathia! Hang in there and you'll get to the finish line.

Tabitha! It will happen. You seem to have very strong determination! That's GREAT! Welcome to the July board! HUGS Kimberly

Congrats Tabathia!!! We have surgery on the same day. Don't give up. I am on disability too and I know how hard it is to come up with the money for things for they surgery. I wish you all the luck.

thanks for responding. i really need all the support i can get right now. i may have to change docs. i dont want to but i may have to.

When I first started I had to change doctors because of distance. I didn't want to and thought I would never find a doctor I would like but luckily I did.

Good morning and welcome. This is a great board, were'er all keeping each other up to par on everything we do and nobody complains, well not yet anyway*****************************Cheri

Congrats Tabathia!!! Doesn't it feel great when you finally get that date? Tina
