thank you so much....I know exactly how you feel...I first asked my Dr. if she would approve of my having wls, she said noooo..that was 5 years ago, I am now 75 pounds heavier...I should have followed my instincts and got a different primary...as much as I like her, this is her last week being my primary, she is moving out of the area....I know it isn't an easy wait and there isn't anything I can say to make it go faster for you, I just wish you well and thank you for your wishes....

Lisa, I read your post. I was not happy with being fat. I was miserble and hated each day. when I got wind of this kind of wl help. I jumped in with both feet. I didn't care who didn't approve of me doing it. I seen hope for me. NO ONE walked in my shoes but me. No one lived life like I did, with pain each day, embrassments, I tell you. NO I DID NOT CARE WHO DIDN'T LIKE IT. I remember asking my mom what did she think about me doing it. she said why ask for her opinion, she said you are going to do it with or without it anyhow. I laughed and said you are sure right about that. she supported me all the way and was there right by my side. Yes, everyone who loves you will be concerned. but to back out of it for fear of your own or others is not the right thing to do, and you need to think of yourself first and do the right thing. take care~*~Hugs~*~

Hi Lisa, I had to write you after your post to the board about your husband being against your having WLS. Mine husband too in the beginning was against it, but said it was my choice, and he'd support whatever decesion I made. He was scared he'd lose me; not because of getting thinner, but because of the fear of going under the knife. We did lose a friend of ours after my surgery (that would have made him really not want me to have it, had it happend before mine). He will come around. I wish you all the best in your process. It has been a life saver for me. My brother (4 years older than I) just had a quadruple bypass, and I'm convinced that I would have been next without WLS. As you take your journey to the inner, and thinner you, remember: The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I am the LORD, you God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 Don't tell GOD how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your GOD is! Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 I have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears. Surely, I will heal you. 2 Kings 20:5 I'm hoping you have a successful surgery, a rapid recovery, and much success in your weight loss journey. Des's date of surgery 3/13/2002 Pre-op weight =316#'s,BMI was 51.0, super obese, current weight on 6/3/2003 = 172#'s, BMI now 27.8 overweight ~ 3.0 from normal weight (can't weight!) , -144#'s
