I give up!!

Okay, when Dr. Blake was at jackson I got into all of the requirements and only had 2 more things to do when he left. Then when he left I got scared and did't complete all my stuff. I tried weigh****cher for 6 months and lost 20 pounds which is good but now the weight is coming back. So here I am back at the beginging again. I spoke with Dr. Salameh's nurse and she told me to go ahead and get those things done so she can get me an appointment. I also have a question. Has anyone been told that they would have to be cut due to a gallbladder surgery? That has really been my hangup on all of this stuff. I really wanted it to be done lap. Anyway thanks for listening.

I dont understand what you are giving up on? Bottom line --get those requirements in and have the surgery. Lap would be great but having it open is very safe and not that bad at all. I had mine open and I have a big scar but its well worth it. Dont give up on anything... get what you need to move forward and you'll be all set. Good luck! Christine 275/155

Thanks for your words of wisdom. I have not told my husband yet that I talked with the clinic. I guess I need to let him in on this??

I think it depends on how big a scar you have on your tum from the previous surgery as to whether or not they can do lap. The scar tissue is hard to work around. I say go for it anyhows, get started, quit lolly-gagging!!!!! Hop to it!!!! Go girl Go!!!! Siss Boom Bah! Rah! Rah! Rah!!!!! The sooner the better! Love ya! Smoochies Arlies

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I know I can. Where did you do your sleep study?

Anderson's in Beautiful Downtown Meridian!!!!!!

I think I will try to do mine in Laurel. Did you have to get a c-pap? I am very closterfobic (spelling?). If so did you adjust quickly?

Hi Barbara, I have sleep apnea and sleep with a c-pap machine every night. It's not bad at all. It beats waking up every hour having to go to the bathroom and ge****er. Also, it beats stopping breathing once a minute. I'm so thankful for my c-pap (but ready to get rid of it also). I feel SO MUCH BETTER since I've been using mine. Hope this helps!

I had lap and open! LOL It's not so bad. Just be prepared to add a week or 2 to recovery time. Don't let that stop you ok? "Get er done!" Keep us posted! HUGS Kimberly

Thank you guys so much for the words of encouragement. I told my husband this morning that I was going back to the doctor. He said "go for it" now grant you he did not jump and shout but at least he did't try to talk me out of it.
