Mag,

I wish I could wave a magic wand and fix it all for you. What I can do is keep you in my prayers that your situation will improve soon. I've been where you are at and I know it isn't fun. Nowhere to go but up, right?

Hugs,
Colleen

I also work night shift from 7p-7a...just finishing up night number 4 of 5 then 9 nights off! Working night shift in the NICU, but have also worked Labor and Delivery as a second job. It is good to find someone that also understands the 12hr night shift deal! Hope you are having a great week!

Topic: RE: Welcome!

Hi My name is Tammie. I am hoping for my surgery to happen at towards the end of next month. All my requirements are done except I am waiting on going back to the sleep center for a 2nd time. They said I have moderate sleep apnea. I just had my final consult with my surgeon yesterday and so just waiting on that to happen then going for my pre op stuff. I'm so glad I found you guys. I feel a little alone in this. For the last couple of weeks I've been letting family and friends know about what is happening and I've answered so many questions and listened to "why would you have unnecessary surgery? Can't you just try harder to diet?" Ughhhh....They don't understand that this decision isn't an overnight one or one that is taken lightly. For me, I started on this journey last July. Since then meeting with doctors, nutritionists and going to informational meetings and support groups. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life and with every diet, came more weight...I now weigh 261 and I'm thrilled, scared and every other emotion I can think of about having this surgery. Mainly I can't wait to feel healthy again and being able to get off all my meds would be a dream come true!
So Thanks again for this wonderful site!!! I love reading how everyone is doing on their journeys to a more healthy life

Oh Meg, I'm so sorry to hear about your current troubles! Please take care of yourself and keep your hopes up. I don't know how, but I have a good feeling that things will work out for you somehow. In the meantime, keep your chin up. I'm always here if you need to talk.
