All About Me!!!
Hey Timmy Tim!!! I have you to thank for my post...your original post of asking people to introduce themselves to the NJ forum and post their story got me motivated. I knew deep down inside what my story was, but had a hard time getting it out on paper...err, computer! I had wanted to add my story to my profile for the longest time, but when I would start, all these feelings would rush to me, and I would just stop. I felt bad because I would meet people on the forums (I'm on my surgeon's forum, Dr. Brolin, as well as the August surgery forum), and their profiles would have their entire life story on them, while my profile was a pic and that's it. After you posted your post, I said that's it, and spent a good 2 hours typing that night. It felt so good to get that out! And after Sherri had read my post, she suggested that I copy and paste it to my profile so it's in there, which I did (great suggestion Sherri!). Of course, since that post, I've remembered other things too, and will be adding those to my profile as well. Like I said, it's so good to release some of this stuff that's been built up inside. It's truly therapy! Thanks Dr. Timmy!
I know what you mean about some people being threatened by my WLS...I have a particular friend that when I told her (mind you, she's a big girl too), she was like "what, are you crazy? want to die? it won't work! you'll be miserable! look at all the food you'll be missing out on!" and it went on and on. And I truly thought that she would be one of my biggest cheerleaders! I chalked it up to being ignorant and explained my position...needless to say, she finally understands and supports me, albeit she still says something negative every once in a while. Whatever!
My surgery is at the University Medical Center at Princeton...I have to be there at 5:30, surgery at 7:30. Mom, hubby and I are driving there at 4am (yes, you read that right! I live 1.5 hr. away from the hospital!). I know I'm going to be a big bundle of nerves that day, I can feel it coming!
Mom has been given my phone list of people to call after I've made it out of surgery to let them know how I am...if you want, I'd be more than happy to add you to the list so she can let you know how I am, and further, give you my room number...I'd more than welcome your call!!! You can email me at [email protected] and give me your number if you like...I won't abuse it! LOL!
Chat with you soon Timmy!
Take care! Hugs!
