Support Group tonite...

anyone else going to the DVR support group meeting tonite?

Brian and I have to go... he is pitching a fit...

I really wanted to. But I am going to my classes at the gym tonight instead. If I were to go, I would have wanted to work out tomorrow night, but I have other plans for Wednesday. I do not want to miss 2 nights in a row at the gym. So the gym wins for me tonight.

I really enjoy the support groups and find them extremely helpful. What is Brian's argument about the groups?

he doesn't feel he needs a support group. he feels he's motivated enough. 

he's a pain in the tushy is what he is.

Support group is not just about motivation, it is also information sharing. Sometimes we don't know what we don't know. I picked up so many ideas and helpful hints that I found it invaluable pre-op. I also love it post op. I just wi**** was not on Tuesdays.

he is being so damn difficult about this.  whines about every test... says  'well NO ONE ELSE had to have all these tests'... and I KNOW t hat's not true...

and maybe someone can tell him a bagel and cream cheese is NOT a good breakfast....

LOL - I am glad he's yours and not mine! Just kidding of course. It will be interesting to see if his tune changes later after the miracles start happening . I wonder if he will see things differently.

some days i'm ready to sell him!

it's really really hard his boss is a patient of DVR and when i met her in 2003 she was at her peak of thinness... but she is so not a good example of what to do.

and she tells him   "well i didn't have to have a sleep study, and i didn't have to have pulmonary tests and I didn't have to have all these tests"

and i don't know who i want to kill more HER or him.

 I hear you,. I know you have already explained that this is an evolving science and more has been learned as to what is best to ensure the best possible outcome.

till I am blue in the face... I explained that having all the tests and getting the CPAP will ensure that he has a successful surgery. I remind him that he stopped breathing on the table for his GB surgery last year...

ugh.  it's hard enough to be doing my stuff...  tomorrow i could be ready for last meeting with DVR and yet he's not even done his testing and HE WHINES.

I want to be single.... ugh.

Nessa do you really think that his boss didnt have any tests? That seems so dangerous for a doc to do surgery without tests.. Well who knows I wish you luck with your hubby.. Men are stubborn and are set in their ways.. I hope you can get some res tand peace before you have your surgery. Take care hope you are well...
