2 Weeks till my surgery date and...............

Wow...I am so sorry...that is absolutely horrible....I send a special hug especially for you....I cant bear to think about that....ever.....I can understand about wanting to just eat and eat just out of the sheer comfort....and u know what....times are tough right now and if u feel the urge...just do it.....once...and get it over with....We are human....I can totally empathize. As far as being two weeks away...that is marvelous..I am 3 weeks away and am going thru my own issues also..... Hugs, Cathy

Now i just come from the surgeon and my blood pressure is dangerously high and he wants me seen by my regular doctor in the AM...I told him of my dads passing and he agrees its that but if my blood pressure is this high they wont put me under for the surgery. :*(

Lisa.. soo very sorry about the loss of your Dad. It is hard, in fact I had my surgery done on the anniversary of the death of my Dad. At first I was freaked out by it then I thought it's ok. Kinda like my Dad giving me his ok that I make that day a good day to remember not a bad one. I'm sure your Dad is looking down on you with joy at the fact that his little girl is going to start living a healthy life. It will give you a better quality of life. I noticed that you are going to Dr.Ahmad. He is great. I was with him from sept 03 til June 04. He switched from Stonybrook to Mather and no longer accepted my insurance. I had my surgery done by Dr.Adaniel. Other than the insurance glip, Dr Ahmad was wonderful. I wish you a successful surgery and my prayers go out to you and your family at this time. God Bless, ~Angel 255/222/150/118

Lisa - Let me add my condolences for your loss. It's such a difficult loss, and I'm sure that your thoughts are all over the place right now. All I can suggest is taking a DEEP breath.......find a quiet place......and think through the whole situation quietly. Only you can decide whether this is the right time for you to go forward with the surgery or to postpone it for a short while until you've had time to grieve your loss. You ultimately want to be healthy and successful in using this tool -- I wish you the very best in achieving that goal. Do what's right for YOU....and it'll be the right thing in the end. Good luck, Lisa....I'll be thinking good thoughts for you!! Alison
