Oh my gosh....

I just vented in the general discussion board about my frustrations with this whole wls process and I came across that beautiful poem you shared. In an instant everything became ok for me. I realized that in time I will get the surgery and enjoy every moment of my life's journey. Thank you for sharing

You're welcome Sara!! (I think that's your name )
When I got the notice that someone had read this, I couldn't remember what poem I had posted.... so, I followed the link back and reread it myself... It was 20 months ago..... seems like forever ago..... SO much water under the bridge since then....
Hang in there ma'dear, the best is yet to come for you!!!!!
I PROMISE!!!!!

by the way.... even at 422 pounds, MANY co-morbidities, a BMI of 68.1, I was still denied TWICE by my insurance company for WLS.... it took me 2 weeks short of a year to get authorization.... people around me were getting authorization within a matter of weeks or a couple months, yet, here I was dying a little more everyday... and I had to almost beg to save my life... finally, my PCP wrote a letter to my insurance company, he had been a former chief of staff at Grossmont Hospital, and the day they got his letter, they over-turned the denial.... he saved my life with that letter, he, along with Dr. Callery and the Lord, and so many of the people on this forum, I've made it to the place where I am today... I'm stuck, yes, I'm on a dreaded plateau, but, I'm not giving in, nor am I going backwards, I'm still working at what I KNOW will evetually break, and I'll start dropping again.... so, just hang tight to your goal of WLS and you WILL achieve what you want most in your life.... GOOD HEALTH!!!!!!!

Big hugs and God's speed!!

Sandi,

Thank you very much for your post today. I have printed it and posted it in the bathroom of all places to remind me that each day I have the choice to decide how I will view each day. I have had a hard time remembering that my perspective on my life is all up to me.

No words can comfort a lost of a loved one. My heart goes out to you!

You are inspiring "congratulations" on your weight loss.
