Thank you i needed that some times help comes from the weirdest places went to my family doctor today. It was awful didnt have a baby sitter for alex and he was being well a normal 22 month old the doctor was laughing at me because i was chasing him every were hes just tall enough to open all the doors. well the doctor says hes all boy lol i agree there as im sitting on a chair in front of the door and alex is climbing on a kids table to turn the light off and on. Any way im sweating and exhausted from trying to keep him out of things and i tell the doctor im scared about my surgery that i want to be hear for my baby boy he just looks at me and says do you think youll be hear if you dont get healthy for that baby boy. the answer is no and i have to do this for my very active little boy.
Loretta - Everyone feels scared before the surgery...it is only human. I am soooo thankful that I had a gastric bypass 5 1/2 years ago and wish I would have not waited till I was 55. I missed out on so much of my kids lives. I just didn't have the energy to keep up with them. Whenever it was time to go to the neighborhood pool, I just couldn't cause I was so ashamed of my size and wouldn't put on a bathing suit. If there was a school event, I always had an excuse not to go and send my husband. I didn't want anyone to see me. They are grown now but I look at pictures of them when they were little and wonder were I was. I never wanted to get my picture taken or if I did I always had a pillow or something in front of me. They never say anything about it but I know when they look at the old pictures they see there is not many of me. You will get through the surgery just fine and you will be so much better for it. God Bless You.

Thank you for your support I have to tell some one about my day last night talk about being scared as you guys know i took on babysitting a little boy a couple times a week. I felt bad for the single mom but i can honestly say im not handling the extra well at all. well yesterday this little boy who never listens to me opened my front door with out me knowing a few min later i couldnt find my 21 month old my dog and him they were out side i live on main street i panicked im crying my dogs running loose and oh my god to little boys out side alone thank god alex my son loves his sand box so he was in the back yard eating sand i grabed them up and cried and cried some more. then i punished the little boy i was so scared. My husband told me to tell her i can****ch him because she has no limits lets him do what ever he wants. But i feel bad she knows her son needs structure i think he needs nanny 911 lol. The kids are fine mom on he other hand i had to take a xanax
