Waiting fo rapproval---need an angel

Hi folks, I'm waiting to be approved and you know...I'm finding out that my family and friends don't understand why I'm having the surgery or they are apathetic. I could really use a friendly ear to voice my hopes, my fears, someone who knows just how I feel and what I'm about to go through. Any one interested can email me. Have a God-blessed day on purpose! coG627

hi coG627, When I had my surgery I decided not to tell anyone untill the day before because I didnot want to go though what you are going though. Just dont let it get to you because you are doing this for you and no one else. Just keep on with the process to getting your surgery done. I know it hurts not to have the support you want but they"re come around. I am almiost three years out and set to have my tummy tuck and breast reduction done and haven't told my family because I dont need thier opinions because I am doing what I want to do. I am fast to be let people remarks get to me. The closer I get to my date I"ll let them know. E-mail me and keep me informed on your progress.I never been an angel and would love to be yours if you like. Good Luck and God Bless

Thanks, Sharon for your kind words. I would like it very much if you were my angel. Just want to let everyone know that I know exactly why I'm having the surgery; to become a more healthy individual and to be around to watch my son and grandkids grow up. I'm doing this for me. I am a person who needs to talk out her fears and concerns with people I care about and who care about me. I know my family will come around eventually but until that time, I need a friend with a sympathetic ear.

Hi, Hope everyhings going well with you. Have you gotten any more information about your surgery. Have you gotten an approval. Thats right we need to get healthy to be around for our kids and grandkids. Before I had my surgery I had so many illnesses. So we do need to take care of our selves and get healthy and the surgery will be a good starting point. I'll keep you in my prayers. Keep in touch. Sharon

Hi Sharon, Yes I have been approved for WLS since 8/30/05. But I'm still waiting on my letter. I'll post and let everyone know as soon as I get it. coG627

coG627, If ever you have questions feel free to ask away. I don't have all the answers but I am definitely willing to lend an ear if you need one. Good luck on your journey. Denise

Thanks, Denise. I will keep in touch. I look forward to chatting with you. God Bless! coG627 B.
