Please know that your comments and support are so wonderful. I am a devout Christian woman - so the prayers mean so much to me as I await my first appointment on March 25/03. It seems like years away but it is just part of the waiting game. My aunt should be the least of my worries but some people just don't understand. She should she is overweight herself with major health problems...so I am just going to keep my mouth shut around her!! I think that is the wisest gift I can give myself!! Big hugs and kisses to you. God speed your appt. Holly

Hi Dovie, I'm sending you a REALLY BIG HUG because you deserve it! Please know I've been where you are and am doing better every day. I was on a high dosage of anti-depressants before surgery because being FAT really does take it's toll on our emotions. Since the surgery and mainly because I couldn't take the pills and stomach the liquid meds. I've been off all anti-depressants. I'm not saying I don't get depressed anymore but life has certainly gotten easier since losing 130 pounds. I sincerely hope you have your surgery soon so you can start feeling better. Hang in there and KNOW you too will be on the losing side. Till then, maybe you should consider asking for anti-depressants. If you're already on them just take it a moment at a time; don't beat yourself up; your feelings are very normal because it is difficult living in a big body. God Bless you sweetie and please know I'm here for you if you need to chat. Your sis in WLS

NOT SAYING ANYTHING BUT A DATE, GOING OUT, PLAYING GOLF.... OR SOMETHING ... .AND I SAID I HAVE CHILDREN THAT ARE OLDER THAN U... HE SAID I DON'T CARE THAT IS JUST A NUMBER.. THIS IS NOT ANYTHING I WILL INCOURAGE , JUST GO SEE A GOOD MOVIE, AND OUT TO EAT... I HAVE BEEN NOTICEING THAT MY STEERING WHEEL IS GETTING TO TIGHT ON MY STOMACH...I HATE THIS.. AND ALL THE MANY THINGS THAT I CAN'T DO... LIKE THE RIDES AT "SIX FLAGS OVER GA"... AND GOING IN A RESTAURANT AND NOT FITTING IN THE BOOTH, OR GOING TO CHURCH AND THE SET BEEN TOO NARROW TO BE CONFORTABLE TO SET ON...AND NOW ALL MY CLOTHES R GETTING TO SMALL FOR ME...
