Hi ladies and gents!!! New girl on the block
Hi my name is Andrea!! I am freaking out becuase like some of you I went through some fo the info session part and just couldn;t do it. Then I had lost a little weight myself- just enough to put me under (.2 under) the required BMI but because I didn;t have the comorbidities- they wouldn;t take me and told me I should be proud that I was able to take off the weight. Well yes and no- I am proud that I could take off that 10lbs but I have been trying to take off that same 10lbs for a year and a half all the while going to the gym and walking all over kingdom come. Well everything is a bit tighter and I feel better but the lastest tests have come back and now I really do have diabetes and sleep apnea despite my efforts. So I am a little frustrated becuase I was trying to avoid all that. Well now that I am faced with even more problems from this weight, I am more motivated than ever to get this surgery done and see what is under there. I have almost forgotten and I don't like that at all. I have been trying to emerge the happy bubbly girl that I have always been but she is stuck under too many layers of blub and we need to get her out- she deserves it. Well I look forward to speaking with you all and like all of the new people I am also looking for the best advice from the experienced ones. My consultation date isn;t until May but I am hopeful that Dr. Lautz from B+W's will have a cancellation before that. Thanks for your time Andrea
Ya Eileen has been awesome and wants me to continue to call her every week in hopes of a cancellation. That is what I keep hoping for cause even though it is not all that far away for May it just seems like I have been fighting for so long to get this and now it is just out of arm's reach. I will just have to have patience and hope that someone cancels and I can get in there earlier than that. Just too excited to wait. It is like a never ending X-mas eve and then another few months after that. Well thank you all for your kind words Take care.
Girl, I feel your pain, went through it myself.
By the time I did go in for the consult, I dressed for success...(they weigh you with clothes on and didn't even ask for my shoes to be removed).
I just had my surgery this week, feeling very good, better than I would have dreamed. Visit the Lightweight board as many have faced what you have. And I agree, ask to be called if there is a cancellation, they happen all the time!
