On the road again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep it's true.....I'm starting over on Monday the 15th. It all starts @ 12:00 with a upper GI...then 1:30 consulatiion with insurance......then 2:00 consulation with surgeon. Just like when I started this a couple of years ago..I have mized feelings even though I know a bunch more now then I did then...but I guess the mixed feelings are normal. It looks like I will be having the RNY this time around, but I won't know for sure until after Monday.

I'm sure that most of you remember that I had the LapBand in August of 2007 and done great and lost almost 100lbs. Started having complications after about a year and had to have the band removed this past October by emergency surgery. Not counting all of this, there has been so much BS going on with me and it has really taken a toll on me physically and mentally. So I am trying to re-group and focus on me getting back to being more healthy and get this weight off me once and for all.

So anyway, just wanted to update everyone, I haven't been on the board since forever. There are lot of newbies which is good to see. If I don't update often, I will be reading about all you newbies and your journey and reading up on the vetran's and how your maintance is going.

Hope everyone is having a great day and doing good.

Cheryl

Cheryl,

Glad to see you are back on the boards and making progress toward a revision.  I was wondering where you went!

I hope all goes well for you.

Hi Cheryl,

Oh my, looks like I have missed a bunch. 

Can't wait to see you so we can catch up.

Can you make the support group at Vandy tomorrow at 1:30?  Would love to see you if you can make it.....

Good to hear from you Cheryl. I wish you well on your new journey. Hope it is like lyrics to "The Second Time Around" by Shalamar:

I know you come a long way, baby
But you don't need that heart of stone, no
You proved that you could do it, do it, baby
You could make it on your own

But you can't keep runnin' away from love
'Cause the first one let you down, no, no, no
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found
Love can still be found

(The second time around)
Ooh, the second time is so much better, baby
(The second time around)
And I'll make it better than the first time

Who is going to do your surgery?

I know you are ready to get the show on the road again. I'm glad to hear you are feeling well enough to undertake this new journey.

It is wonderful to see you back here and in your Fighting mode.  Yeah, you're not giving up and you're once again looking out for your health.  Prayers going up for you.

Congratulations, Cheryl.  I hope that this will go more smoothly for you.  I know that you've had quite a time this past year.  Will you be having the lapband again, or one of the other types of wls?

Cheryl - congratulations for making this huge decision! I'm so proud of you, and will be praying that this time around will be the one that works for you! Please keep us posted on your progress.
