I told myself that it was not real unless I got the approval. Well, I got the approval so I guess it must be real. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Frankly, I am terrified.
My surgery is just a few weeks away and I am beginning to panic about several different things. I have been having doubts about my success and have fears about the surgery. It is manifesting itself in me doubting my mental abilities to cope with everything.
Because of work and family issues I was not able to go to the monthly bariatric meetings. I am concerned that I have not built up any relationships with people who have had the surgery; people who can tell me that whatever I am experiencing is normal. I don’t have anyone to talk me down off my ledge.
I feel like I am going to wake up after surgery and be lost and not know what to do. I am worried that I don’t have anyone I don’t feel like I have a support network built up of people I can turn to when things get rough. I’d be grateful for anyone who has had surgery or is about to have surgery to get to know me and help guide me through this uncharted journey. Thank you.
http://worldswapday2012.eventbrite.com/ We're celebrating World Swap Day on January 21, 2012. Join the DC Goodwill Fashionista at our Arlington Goodwill store location as we swap women's clothing, shoes and accessories. You'll have a chance to mix and mingle with other savvy Goodwill shoppers and spread a little "swaplove." We'll be offering $1 raffle tickets for some great prizes: Two Goodwill gift certificates, free admission to a future swap event by our friend DewdropDC, and an entire Rock Band set! The funds from raffle ticket sales will go directly to Goodwill of Greater Washington's job training and support programs. Our World Swap Day fun will proceed as follows: 10:30—11:30 a.m.:
Arrive at Goodwill's second-floor space (Goodwill's Arlington Career Center), check in, and drop off at least five items to be swapped. 11:30 a.m.—noon:
Meet your fellow Goodwill shoppers, have a snack, enter the raffle, and get ready to swap! (We'll give you a reusable tote bag to gather your goodies.) Noon—1 p.m.:
Swap! Grab as many items as you can fit into your tote bag. Share amazing finds with other swappers. 2 p.m.:
When we wrap up, any clothing left behind will be donated to Goodwill of Greater Washington just downstairs!
I am starting again after finding someone in C'ville who accepts it.
Good Luck. Would love to follow your progress with Prime.
