Family intervention and def going ahead with the gastric bypass in the next 4 weeks !

[Roch]

Well here i am again saying i am going to have my bypass, exactly what i said a year ago when my uncle offered to pay for my surgery but i felt bad that he should pay so much out of his own pocket and also i got so scared i cancelled.
This time both my uncles are paying for my surgery together and i sooo wish i had done it a year ago as i would not be in such a pathetic state as i am now.

I am looking into having surgery in the next 4 weeks and possibly in belgium as its much cheaper defference of 4 grand, my uncles are researching it this weekend and will let me know by monday.
If i go to Belgium will go on my own but am ok with that.

I am scared big time but at the moment i know that if i dont have the surgery this time i dont believe i will be around by the end of the year as my health is deteriating big time.

My uncles took me to see their private doc today after they came to see me on Wednesday and they were shocked to see in what a bad state i was in, this doc i saw today was amazing and after examing me and speaking to him for 90 mins he told me i def have pocs which i know and also he believes i have metabolic x syndrome.

He wa shocked to find out that an emergency doc that i saw last week who did not have my notes prescribed me prozac and valium which have just made me like a zombie and crying day and night. I am in a bad way mentally and phyisically and know this is the last option for me and i need to have this op and start losing this weight b4 it kills me.

Soz this is a bit depressing but unfortuantley its the bare facts of my situation. Ty for stopping by to read my post. Take care, luv Roch xxx

roch! hello u beautiful woman! i just had a band fitted in Prague and thoroughly recommend it. it can be scarey going alone but it is great for reflection and peace. you are doing the right thing for you and thats great. have u chosen the clinic? at least going abroad means getting it done as soon as u wish and they do look after u well. well, they did at my clinic anyways. just make sure u research them properly (im sure u will!)

u have had a crappy time of it in the passed while with health and i definately think this will make the difference u want. best of luck and wishes with it. let us know when u are booked in for etc.
