Anybody have anything new to share?

How are you today Stephanie??

I feel for you when a few of us are ready to take flight and you're still waiting. It know how hard as I first sent my referral to Toronto a year ago today. All I could see were posts of others getting consults, having surgery it drove me near madness. Dr. Tang in Victoria, BC was such a gamble I'd forgotten about my referral, I didn't even pick up the phone to check. Don't worry about BOOHOOIng that's what OH is for to listen and support.

Anyway I hope you're doing better today. Have a great weekend Stephanie!!

Thanks Laurie.  I love the fact that I have people to talk too that can understand my situation.  My husband has always been under weight so he thinks if I quit eating and exercise like crazy I well lose weight. Yes I have tried that, but he seems to think not hard enough! We eat the same foods and I go for walks when I can. I am at the point now that I am so heavy my knees,ankels and hips hurt if I do anything to strenous. Again thanks for being here and supporting me.

Talk to you soon Stephanie


p.s. I am feeling better.

Hi Stephanie,

Good to know that you are doing better.  I too had many feel if only I what.... exercise til I drop or eat less than a child. We all have been there done that too many times. When someone thinks differently let them!! I mean that too, only you know your own body. Remember, No one body works the same way!!!! So tell those little twiggy's that you're enlightened and brave enough to seek help to live a fuller, healthier life and ask them how far they'll go to adjust their attitude?

Find your inner strength.

About the joints have you considered aqua-size or a massage??

We've all had people come up to us and say, excerise more and eat less. We have all tried that and MUCH more. I just don't think they really understand. Here we all do. Surgery is not the first stop for us, its the last.

   I also have major body and joint pain. It's very hard to exercise. I'm going to go for weekly massages at the massage college cause its cheap. My mobility is soooo bad. I want to walk, I want to exercise but I can't really. It's very frustrating. I hope the surgeon doesn't hold it against me.

   Now that my tickets booked I'm starting to realize how real this is. If we just keep patient we will make it to our goal! Waiting times stink but we need to stick it out! I hope everyones doing well. Talk to you all very soon!!!

   

You girls are right.... we have all tried every diet under the sun ate like birds and exercised.  This was the last step!!  But so worth it.. At least for me!! 
  Keep up the courage and everything will work out.  WIll keep my fingers crossed for all of you!!
