Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 , That is amazing. Way to go. I am sure that you do feel like a totally different person. You should be extra proud of yourself for going through with this surgery. You had the guts to step out there and do something dangerous to reclaim your life. Be proud of that as well as that awesome weight loss. I can't wait to be right there with you. Dora Awaiting approval in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 good luck with your surgery and the upcoming days will go by so quickly it will be here before you know it. we are here for each other your right and i love it. so nice being able to come to a group of friends to talk about our acheivements, goals, disappointments at times and our general daily feelings and have them understand. my real (offline) friends don't always do that. laurette 4/23/04 open rny 309/290/252/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I am so thankful for this group. I will have surgery in 11 days and I don't really have anyone else to talk to about it. My dad listens to me and asks questions, I do have to admit that, but my husband and mother change the subject and just seem to not like to talk about it. I don't understand it really. It was the same way when my gynocologist told me he couldn't see me anymore and sent me to an oncologist instead. I was terrified. I thought my mother would be the one to talk to, since she had already had cancer and was in remission, but she would change the subject or practically ignore me. And now I have to go every 3 months and have the tests and biopsys done,then sweat out the waiting on results on my own, because they don't like to talk about it. They never even ask me how they came back. It's not a lack of love, I know they love me. Sometimes, I think it is fear on their part, just easier to pretend it isn't happening. Anyways, to make a long post short (ha ha) I am thankful to have each of you here to post to and ask questions to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I think some subjects just make some people VERY uncomfortable. It wasn't so long ago that a lot of subjects like " cancer " were almost tabboo for people to discuss. I think that it is definately fear and you are right about that. This surgery for some people is one of those tabboo things I think. My husband wasn't all that interested in the surgery talk either but we were sort of on the outs at that time anyway. It made it difficult for me because you and I both know that the closer it gets that is the ONLY thing on your mind. Not being able to talk about it to the people closest to you makes things so much harder and more nerve wracking. So vent here with us and ask questions and talk about your fears. It is on all of our minds too! Colleen Lap-RNY 11/03/03 315/196/145-ish > I am so thankful for this group. I will have surgery in 11 days and > I don't really have anyone else to talk to about it.
