Where in the world is Denise?

Every time I call your house you are at a dentist appointment, If you don't want to be in our support squad anymore atleast have the decenticy to let one of us know. We would understand if your not having the surgery, We know you were talked out of it by your family and friends down in California, But atleast let us know the real reason you don't take our calls anymore. We miss you , we still care . I thought we were all friends, Friends help each other. I am here if you need to talk. I have just one thing left to say, Make sure your decision not to have the surgery is for you -not for someone else, Don't do it to please them because they like you the way you are, do it because you want your health back, Think about your small children who are just know starting to get to know you, How long do you think it will be before you come down with another major illness, Just something to think about. Denise I do care and so do the other ladys. I have lots to tell you about my surgery so far, if you care to hear about it call me. LOL Monica

Hi, I am here in my "safe" world. I must apologize to all for my absence and for worrying you. I am truly sorry for not responding to your phone calls and inquires. Monica, I feel badly that I was not there when you got home. Please forgive me. I can not fully explain my behaviors but to say I am sorry and if you give me a chance, I can be a friend. I would truly like to know how you have been. I am sorry for the brief phone call. I would love to come by and visit, if you have time. I am feeling more like myself. I have enjoyed the LASS group and I know you gals are my only hope to see this through. Thank you Monica for continuing to try to make contact with me and for being such a understanding person when you yourself needed help. . I would like everyone who is thinking about this major life altering surgery to surround yourselves with only the people that are positive and uplifting. You are the angels in my life and I thank you. ~Denise~

Sweet Sweet Denise, We would never let you down, We will always be here for you, I will not let you go that easy. I know sometimes people say and do things that bring us down, but if don't try and force yourself into the positive more often they will have succeeded in doing what they set out to do, and that is make you unhappay just because they are. And that is not good, Some how some way we can raise the money needed for your surgery, you must keep faith girl. I have about three weeks left before I go back to work, you are more than welcome to come over anytime, Just call so I can make sure I am dressed. Shelley comes over and uses the computor atleast twice a week, You are all very welcome to come by and visit with me, even on weekends. Please , Please do come over I am going crazy setting here by myself. You all have my phone number , I am just a phone call away, if you ever want to talk. I am doing really good, I am now down to 298 lbs. Finally got past that yukky 300 mark. Yeah. My husband and I took the oldest grandson to the pumpkin patch yesterday, It was fun but I over did it alittle, so hurting a tiny bit today, so taking it slow, Tomorrow will be better. Finally found a calcium supplement I can take without getting sick from it. The sugar level in most is to high for me, So (Viactiv ) is working great, they taste like starburst but not real sweet. Made for women.only $6.99 for 60 chews. Not bad huh? Anywho, I think we need to have another meeting soon, Sheri will be having her surgery here pretty soon, on the 28th, And I think it is important that we have another. I need to find out who would to be the hostest this time or do I need to have you all back here? Who is up for the job ? I have alot to tell all of you and I am sure Shelley does too. I am so proud of Shelley, she has really come along way. And Sheri is staying very positive for her upcoming surgery. And good ole Lesa well nothing will unsettle her -from her mission. She is very stable for all of us, So thank you Lesa for always remaining true. Haven't heard from Theresa in awhile, but I keep trying to call.I also haven't heard from Brandi either. Hope both of them are doing great. So Denise, Stay true to yourself and your true dream, and have faith we will all be praying for you. Keep positive, you will pervail. LOL Take care of you, Monica
