UPDATE

Hello everyone! I have not been here for a short while, had much thinking to do. And then I said I will not allow that person that made rude and crude remarks to me, upset me so, and that I was better then that. Soooo James from Obesity Action Coalition has helped me with placing my story on their website, with hopes that maybe someone will read it and perhaps offer some advice that might help me be able to have WLS. Wish me luck All!! *hugs* alicem http://www.obesityaction.org/patientstories/alice.php

that is wonderful Alice. I hope someone can offer some constructive, useful advice for you....good luck april

Keep your chin up. We're still praying. How's your daughter doing? Beth B. in Chattanooga

Oh Alice, that is so awesome! I am very excited for you...there is no telling what could come of this...who know, some kind hearted surgeon could see it and offer his services to you. Happens all the time! I am so glad you decided to come back here. I know after your last long post, some people were really angry and wanted you to report that hussy that said those horrible things but I have read your profile so I knew the situation with your daughter and how you feel you simply can't rock the boat or they will drop her services. I was just as mad but as unfair as it is, sometimes we all get backed into a corner by unscrupulous people even when they are supposed to be watching for other's interests. Anyway, I have a really good feeling about this development. I have really thought about your situation a lot and I just feel this may be the break you were waiting on! I will keep praying for you and your precious daughter!

Alice, I want to wish you all the best. Good for you for not leeting the remarks get you down. You are right when you said you are better than that. I am so happy you have a ray of hope shinging and I really hope this all pans out for you. My prayers are with you. Give your daughter a hug and a {{{Hugg}}} for you as well. Think positive. I just know something good will come out of this for you!

HI Alice, you know you are still on my prayer list. Keep your chin up, and always think positive that although you can't have the surgery today, you will have it one day. May God travel with you and the Action Coalilation on your new journey. Keeps us posted. Much love and prayers, Kathy

Alice, That is great, you just keep your faith and know that all things happen in Gods time. It is so hard not to want to have everything now, but the best things are worth waiting for. You are a very strong and special person, not alot of people could handle all the stress you are under, so keep your chin up and know that this too shall pass. Hugs & Prayers Darlene Hughes
