    My family doesn't know I'm having surgery!

    Don't feel guilty honey... it's a personal decision, and something that I've found that even those who you are close to and love have mixed emotions and reactions to that you may not be prepared for. You need all the support and positive energy right now, and none of the nay-sayers or those who...

    1st Full Day Home!

    Sitting for too long, especially "srunched up" tends to make for a stiff tummy and take a minute to straighten up... I've been told moving around is the best bet. It also helps get the gas in your body moving... the surgery requires gas to be pumped into your body for the procedure, but they...

    1st Full Day Home!

    Frustrated with unsupportive family

    My surgery is scheduled in less than 2 weeks. I've shared my decision to go forward with this procedure with friends and family with quite a mixture of responses. Many ask why, since I do not fit the "classic morbid obese" category... and I respond with it being a mixture of health issues...

    New beginning and gift of love to myself and my family... on Valentine's Day

    I'm scheduled for the bypass on 2/14... I am nervous as is my husband of the unknown and of course the unlikely, but ever so possible dangers of surgery. I picked this date, as this is a gift of love to myself and my sweetest husband and 4 year old twins. I want to be the best and healthiest...
