OK...........whew.....................I had my phone interview today, and the lady I spoke with was actually pretty nice. I explained everything to her (don't know why since she had a copy of my records there) Anyways she said she could NOT recommend the lapband or RNY but she kept reiterating about the RNY. from what I got I think I would prefer the RNY but am still so afraid of the complications I've heard from that form of weight loss surgery. I go on the Mar 31st to see the NUT and according to the surgery coordinator I will not get in for surgery for about 8 months from my first visit with the NUT. she said I can go for the fasting blood sugar test on the 31st, after a few visits with the NUT I will have to be evaluted by the mental health once I get she gets the OK that they feel I am ready I will be scheduled for the surgery. She said I will have to lose some weight before I go for surgery to make sure I can follow the plan.
BUT..............My mother and cousin are the most discouraging people I know
When I told them about it they kept on "Samantha, there is NO reason you need to go for surgery, you need to exercise more and eat better
) AND then my friends husband calls me one day and says "your girl is so jealous of you" I'm like what the f!@# for now????" and he says "because you are trying to go for the weight loss surgery" NEEDLESS to say she won't even answer my phone calls anymore. I guess if I'm not the fat one (or morbidly obese one as I was told by the weight loss coordinator) they don't like it.
I'm just trying to stay motivated and not let these people make me feel bad about my decision (I tend to let people make me feel bad as you can tell) BUT this is for my health I know and understand it is a lifestyle change for the rest of my life why can't they be happy I'm trying to improve my health???
