oh Connie D
wanted to answer your post:
HIJACK......
Hello Peach...I just noticed that you are pursuiing DS. When did you decide to try that?? I have been so out of it I guess I just didn't notice it until today. I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers that this works out for you!! Keep fighting!!!
Hugs, connie d
Well, when my RNY fiasco happened I was devastated....and I found it really hard to be on this board when those I had started right after, with or just before were going forward and getting their surgeries...I cried and cried and had to get away from this board (yeah, I suck like that - I felt guilty about it but it was how *I* felt at the time - jealousy is not pretty - I admit it) but I digress....so I wanted to still be on the boards for some goofy reason soooo I started going to the main board a lot...during my time there I kept hearing DS DS DS and seeing people attacked for telling people about it - well, heck, I had to learn more! BTW, the particular attack that really peaked my interest, the DS gals were wrongfully attacked - but again, I digress LOL - sooo I wander over to the DS board....I lurk, read and LEARN - OMG were my eyes opened.....so I joined in the fun, read and learned MORE.....I knew it was for me....I became good friends with the people over on that board and they took me right under their wing......answered all my questions, gave me guidance and encouraged me....I love those gals and I know the DS is why my RNY fiasco happened - it's because I was meant to have it!
I know I know....sounds "extreme" to put it that way - but I can't tell you how much I feel that in my heart....it just was meant to be!
So that's my story and I'm sticking to it
I do however, want to take this opportunity to apologize to each and every one of you guys here that I practically abandoned...I know I already did that but honestly, I should have stayed here to keep supporting you all and I know that's why some aren't too supportive of me any more and I get it and no hard feelings!! I still have ONE issue from this board that I'm working on, but it's on me and it's my problem so I'll get over it LOL
Love you guys!!!! ~HUGS HUGS HUGS~
I TOTALLY believe that things happen for a reason, even if we don't get it and can't begin to appreciate it at the time. Your reaction was totally understandable, but we were sad that you went away for a spell.
And NOW? We're SO HAPPY you're back!!! I know what you mean about your eyes being opened, knowing it (DS) was for you - it's like you just read that thing or those things and realize "I get it! It so makes sense to me now!!" I had one of those moments when I started reading about WLS, and the different types... The RNY just sounded right for me from the get-go! I did NOT want to subject myself to another scalpel until the day I had an autopsy, but then I started thinking - I don't want an autopsy sooner than I need one, either! So I think that when you know, you know. And until one has that epiphany, it's not gonna happen.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I told hubby there wasn't a coffee this weekend, but I'll be keeping my eyes on your plans and MAYBE sneaking out....
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
yup and sometimes we have to let the better forces guide us if we are heading in the wrong direction!
I'm going to fight hard for my DS if I have to - but if that falls thru - I can get the RNY - definitely my second choice.....you look so good - you are certainly a good example!!
as for coffee this weekend - Amy mentioned Blaine? BUt haven't heard any more....
I'm open - anywhere???? Let's set up something! even if only an hour
