I SET AN APPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know I was yelling but I am excited. Paula gave me the courage to just make the appointment and go to the informational semenar that Dr. A. has. The good news is that it is also during my leave of absence from work. I am going to do this and get it done. I need to do this for myself. I am doing this and that is that.

Hi Kathy, If you're going to the one on Jan 16th, I'll be there too! I'm going to support my sister who's looking into it. You will learn SO much at this seminar...We will be sure to meet you there. Also, try to encourage your husband to attend this with you. He will probably change his mind about all of it after hearing what Dr A has to say regarding co-morbidities, etc. I know my husband did and he ended up having the surgery too! Paula

That a girl. You have made an important first step. If you decide that WLS is something that you really want, go for it. Get all the information you can, and ask plenty of questions. Members of the board are always willing to give suport when you need it and will share their experiences with you. All my best to you. Sher

Dang Paula, off by a month. I am going to the one in Feb. The woman said I should bring my support person and I said I don't have one but I will bring my hubby.LOL I hope by going to this he will change his mind.

GOOOOO KATHY!!!!! Let us know how it goes! Hopefully, hubby will at least be able to accept that surgery is a safe viable option for weight loss. Encourage him to ask questions, or tell you what his concerns are so YOU can ask. The more info HE has, the better chance YOU have of gaining his support! Trust me on this one! Deb
