getting VERY SCARED

To be honest, I still feel left out and it seems like you have to be in a "click" to get noticed are talked to on this website. I had been really isappointed. I wanted help setting up my page and learn how to put pix on it but I didn't know who on O H to ask. This last time I was in the chatroom, I had some responses from others and they had very kind words to say. I would love any support you can give me, thank you very much. An angel would be great!!!! Do we have to continue conversation on this website or can we just email each other? How does the angel thing work anyway? Thanks for being so kind, God bless you! Christina

Hi Christina, Welcome to the boards. Hang on for the best roller coaster in your life. I had Gastric Bypass on Jan 26, 2004. I feel great. I'm down 176 lbs and am feeling really healthy. I was in 5x's and am now fitting in 14's. I can tell you for a fact that I was scared until my pre-op visit. I kinda thought if I remain positive & focused I'd do okay. I have had a couple minor bumps but have really done what the Doctor's and nutritionist said and continue to loose and get healthier. Being healthy was my goal. I was off my BP meds within 5 weeks and the cholesterol meds within 2 months. Sleep Apnea is not gone, however I have reduced it in half. Needless to say this was a hard decision, but it was the best decision I've made for me. Hang in there. Ask questions, we'll try to answer. ((HUGS)) Elissa
