I HAVE MY DATE!!Surgery in Brazil!!
I am so excited
Yesterday was sooooo terrible because DH was angry with me all day.
I told him I was having surgery no matter what That I was taking out a loan and that I was going to work to pay it back myself. Of
course he is only worried about the money issue! We have tons of
debt and are pretty tight and I do understand how much more in debt
we will be. I will have to work extra hours to help pay for this.
But I told him that this was way too important and I have been fat
long enough. I told him that if I sit around and wait, I will just
be as fat if not fatter and less healthy! Anyhow, DH is not a happy
camper.
HOWEVER!!!!!Today has been so great!!! I got an email from Dr. M in curitiba Brazil finally....I am having surgery on October 26th at 1:30 PM. I will
leave for Caritiba on the 24th. YIPEEE!!!! I was so excited that I
decided I needed to tell my mother (Who is living with us and helping
with my children when I work) I was afraid she would POOPOO the whole
idea. My aunt was also there, they both were very positive and
supportive about the whole idea. I was so relieved and happy. I
told my best friend and my 19 year old daughter yesterday and they
were also very excited about it for me. My friend actually
said "Hay! I wanna go have surgery too" She was very sweet.
Next...after I told my mother I decided to call my sister who lives
in Georgia. She is my older sister and has always been very
protective of me and has always been a great sister. As soon as I
told her there was a moments pause on the phone and I thought "oh
no!! she is mad!" Then she said in an excited voice.."I am going to
have WLS also in November and I was afraid to say anything to you
since you are a nurse and might say how stupid the idea was!" I was
soooo shocked! I was floored! We both laughed and had a great
conversation about WLS etc....
Anyhow, I am soooo happy now. I have a date AND I have my mother,
older sister, daughter and my best friend to support me. They were
all very excited, especially my sister because now we will both be
able to compair notes and talk about surgery. COOL!!!!!
I wish my DH was more understanding and supportive. But at this
point I don't have any choice but to do this for myself. I deserve
to feel better FINALLY!!!! I am so tired of being tired and fat and
ugly.
I hope everyone else is having a good day.
