Hello everyone, my surgery date is March the 18th. I'm having a RNY and i'm scared but excited. I would like to know how many people are schedueled for this date. I stay near Houston Texas. My Dr. is Dr. Gomez\ UTMB hospital. Someone PLEASE give me some pointers.
Peggy, sorry to hear about your husband's heart attack, but it sounds like he's on the mend...and your personal triumph (comfortably driving in a Camaro!) is awesome...sports cars are a longtime enemy of heavy peeps! Way to take initiative and get where you needed to be! Happy New Year to both of you!

I am so very sorry to hear about your hubby's heart attack.. I thank God that all went well and that he is on the mend.. I will keep him in my prayers.. God has his arms around him... and you..
Now for you ... yippee, whoo hoo and a big congratulations...
Isn't it amazing that when we are faced with no choices that we take the bull by the horns and just do it..
But the shock you had when you realized that you fit so well and made the drive after so many years.. is a really great WOW moment.. and in the snow at that.. I am so very very happy for you for that great wow moment and I am so very proud of you for doing that.. driving a car after so many years of not driving is not an easy choice to make.. and to have to drive in the snow at that.. a Camero in the snow can be tricky.. But you did it girl... You are such a stronger person now than you were.. I am happy to see that you are getting thinner by the day and stronger by the day..
With John on the mend you will have many things you have to do that you were dependent on him to do for you.. Just remember as each thing arises that God never puts more on us than we can bear.. and remember to just keep saying I think I can, I think I can ... I KNOW I CAN..
You are going to be just fine and God will see you through all this.. John is going to be so very proud of you.. Now that you can not only take care of yourself (yay for the Independence) but that you are able to take care of him now when he needs you..
Hugs and Prayers..

Sorry to hear about your hubby. But BIG TIME YAY FOR YOU!!
I've never been in a Camaro, but my brother had a Mitsubishi Eclipse that had Barbie-sized seats in it. I had to back it out of my driveway once when I weighed 400 pounds. Getting wedged behind the steering wheel, trying to turn the wheel, and then bottoming out at the low point of the driveway were just awful.
Just think of the possibilities now! I'm soooo happy for your NSV!
Hope your hubbie is back on his feet soon!

Tears in my eyes for you, Girlfriend! You have done it and will continue to do it and this is just the beginning. Keep it going - you are really something! Congratulations on a big accomplishment.

I am glad to hear in your later post that your husband is doing well, and I am really sorry for all this going on. But I am so glad that you were able to get in that car with no second thought and make it to see your husband, in the snow no less. Congrats to you and my thoughts are with you and your husband, I hope things continue to get better and better.
