WELL, I AM SORRY TO DISAPPOINT U GUYS, BUT I WONT BE HAVING MY SURGERY TOMORROW .. IF ANYTHING WITH VANESSA CAN GO WRONG, I PROMISE U IT WILL .. MY DOCTOR, APON READING OVER MY PRE OP WORK, REALIZED THAT I DIDNT GIVE PERMISSION FOR A BLOOD TRANSFUSION .. AND HE SAID THAT IF I DONT HAVE A TRANSFUSION .. HE WONT OPERATE .. CAN U IMAGINE .. THE DAY BEFORE SURGERY INFORMING ME THAT UNLESS I HAVE A TRANSFUSION, NO SURGERY? .. MIND U .. HE HASNT EVER GIVEN A TRANSFUSION - SO WHY THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN HIS SKILL? .. I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL BELIEFS AND CONVICTIONS THAT FOR ME SAY THAT TAKING SOMEONE ELSES BLOOD ISNT RIGHT FOR ME .. EVERYDAY SO MANY HUNDREDS OF PERSON ON THIS SITE LAMENT OVER NOT BEING APPROVED FOR SURGERY .. i am approved ..!!! BUT FINDING THE RIGHT SURGEON FOR ME IS SO DOGGONE HARD .. I THINK I WILL HAVE TO GO OUT OF STATE TO GET THIS SURGERY DONE .. DO I HAVE TO GO TO CALIFORNIA? .. I MIGHT HAVE TO .. THOUGH I DONT WANT TO .. THANK U FOR LETTING ME VENT .. IF U CAN BELIEVE ANYTHING, BELIEVE THIS .. (I WILL BE EATING OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME TONITE .. ) THIS HAS DONE NOTHING FOR MY STRESS LEVEL .. !!! Thank you guys for your attention .. I have u all in my heart .. !!! And one day .. i will have this surgery performed .. !!!

Vanessa, Good luck on your surgery. I was in Northside and it is a great hospital. The staff was very good to me. Just remember the BEST IS YET TO COME!!! Love to you and yours.

Vanessa, I have battled my weight since I was 6. I really identified with you about the comment on your daughter's friends. My daughter's first day of preschool (she was 3 at the time), the children surrounded HER and shouted/recited "you've got a big fat mama," I was mortified -- my weight was now affecting my daugher's life!!! Like you, I've had a C-section, and felt it was compicated by my obesity. It took 30 minutes to get my anesthesia, because I couldn't bend over enough to get the needle in my back. My daughter, who just turned 7, is now obese, and I'm sick with responibility and guilt. BUT, now that I've had my surgery -- and lost 70 lbs since April 3, my how outlook has changed -- everything has changed. Even those terrible things people have said to me -- because I now I'm going to beat this -- and now you will, too! Hang it there! You're going to be feeling so good in a few months you won't recognize yourself!! Love and Hugs, Darla
