One step Ahead (11-25-2008)
Hello everyone, here to inform you all that i did go for my initial consult on 11-14-2008 and it went well. Dr. Hargroder and his staff were all very nice. I have my pre-ops scheduled for 1-7-2009. Pray that everything goes well. I will keep you posted.
The Beginning
Well i am a 37 year old african american female. I don't have any kids. I live in Louisiana. I have been fat since i was about 12 years old. I was always the chubby girl in the class. I have not dated much, I am pretty lonely most times. All I do is go to work and come home. I am a nurse. I live a very stressful life, taking care of ill people at work, and i also take care of my elderly mother who lives with me. I am tired of being fat. I am hoping so bad to be able to have WLS(VGS). I must admit that i am scared to death, but it will be what it will be. Besides I know that GOD did not bring me this far to leave me now. I now that God will provide me with the strength, courage, knowledge, power, and understanding that i will need. I know that God will keep me safe. My only problem is that my mother and i do not agree with me having WLS. I have never gone against what my mother says or thinks, but this time I got to do what I must do. I really need this surgery, I have diabetes, high blood pressure, depression. I know that by me having WLS will have me to be a healthier person and to have better self esteem about myself.
Its time for me to do this. So I'm asking that everyone reading this post to please keep me in your prayers. I will let ya'll know how everything is going. I go to see Dr. Hargroder for the first time on 11-14-2008. I am hoping to schedule my surgery for January 2009, if I am approved by my insurance company. Please pray for me. Thanks, From LadyD.
