MY EXPERIENCE..FROM THE BEGINNING

The day to schedule

Posted 01-04-2008 at 12:27 AM by EllinidaGreek (EllinidaGreek's Journal)

Tomorrow is the date that I go to the doc..and thats when we schedule a day for surgery..but..i've been worried about what if he changes his mind and decides i'm not the right candidate? or what if the insurance declines it? or what if something goes wrong???

i dont have anyone to go through this with me. no family or friends...so i'll make it through..somehow

what to expect

I know that everyone gets excited with the thought of the weightloss. What happens when its off? Can we live a normal life? Can we still have spaghetti and meatballs? Lobster? steak? Are fills for the rest of our lives? I wish I knew the support groups....are they truly supportive.

anyway..i'm starting to get terribly nervous...its the "unknown"

THE BEGINNING

Posted 12-20-2007 at 08:08 AM by EllinidaGreek (EllinidaGreek's Journal)

Its difficult going through this alone. I came here last year without knowing anyone, change of job. I made a decision since I came here for a career change, that I would make a "me" change. I don't know......I found myself looking at myself and not liking me one bit. I want to be a good rolemodel for others and thats why i'm doing this...I went through the pre-screenings..January 4th I should know when the surgery will take place. It's hard not to have someone close to you for support;...
