UPDATE....UPDATE....UPDATE

Ok first of all, my friend ~ Lori ~ gave birth to her 3rd child on Monday by C-section, to a 9 pound 9 once baby boy... ~ Shane ~ , he is soooooo cute... I spent some alone time with him today after meeting the gastric surgeon. I did visit my friend but had him in my arms for 3 hours.. Gosh, she is so brave... her son ~ Trevor ~ is 7 (8 in sept) and ~ Jessica ~ is 6 (7 in nov). They are coming home tomorrow and the girls and I, will decorate the front lawn with blue balloons....

OK first appointment was on Tuesday with a general surgeon. He is absolutly charming and direct to the point. He also suggested that I keep and see the gastric surgeon to see what my option are about weight loss surgery. Wednesday, the ortho for my broken foot. It is healing very well, I can't run yet but I can walk a bit better, no crutchs or cane. And today, I met the Gastric Surgeon. He is the top surgeon for Gastric Bypass in Quebec. And it ususally take 12 to 20 months to see him. Well I saw him and he was totally honest. It is official, I WILL NOT HAVE A GASTRIC BYPASS... It is to risky for me to have this kind of surgery. The chances of me have many complicaitons are so much higher than anyone. Do I want to chance loosing my life... not. I now have requested to have the hernias repaired as soon as possible so I can get my life back.

On this my dears, have a great night and...........Be Good
