Have I told you all lately how much you all mean to me? You mean a great deal! Thank you so very much for your input and concern in regards to the gastric bypass surgery. Don’t worry, this is not something that I would do hastily. I’m still researching it and I’m not through asking questions by any means…besides, I still need to find out if it’s even something that my insurance will cover at all. If it’s not, I may not be financially able to have it done even if I chose to go that route.
I appreciate the links to people here on Xanga who’ve had the surgery, I know of both of the persons that were referenced…and have talked to one of them about this topic before…but I still appreciate you giving me outlets for information! Also thank you to those who’ve shared your knowledge…it’s great to have that feedback.
Like I’ve already stated, this isn’t something that I would do in haste and believe me…if my health weren’t an issue I wouldn’t consider surgery. I’ve had to have many operations in my life and none of them were pleasant. I’m not fond of having surgery for things that aren’t “necessary”…so this is a big decision for me. But it’s one that’s been weighing heavily on mind for quite some time now and I’m almost out of options. I’m going to continue to find out more information and see what (if any) other options I may have…and I will let you know what I find out.
Okay…with all of that said. I’m feeling better today. I’m still coughing a bit…but not as bad as I was last week. I stayed in bed most of the weekend…aside from doing a couple loads of laundry. Hey, I’m a mom remember? Anyway, my Jason was in bed ALL weekend…and most of it running a fever over 101°.
He’s been sick to his stomach and has eaten hardly a thing. I hope he’s feeling better today. He said that he felt a little better this morning before I’d left for work…but he hadn’t gotten out of bed yet so…
Well…as usual I have a TON of work to do…so I should be going. However…I will leave you with a few more pics of my best friend Eric’s new baby daughter…Baylie.
isn’t it funny how they have the same expression on their faces? hehe

That flu is a nasty one – I am just really feeling better after a week. The walk from the Train to the office kicked my butt LOL – Feel better
Aw..that’s too cute!
I hope you make the right decision for you . That last photo of Eric and Baylie is great
ahhhh well, make the choice thats right for you and only you…. and we’ll pray for the best in any situation.
what an adorable little baby
lol a true daddy’s girl lol
Those pictures are priceless, especially of Baylie and her Daddy!
I’m sure you will make the right decision concerning whether or not to have surgery. Please, keep us all posted about what you decide to do Maria. And if you elect to do it, I hope your insiurance covers it. *crossing fingers*

Aww, the pictures are adorable!!
You should write something for people who are considering it and then who go through it, if that’s what you end up doing, or even if you don’t go through it… what made you avoid it and how you did otherwise. I haven’t seen anything written by a woman, it’s all been men. I’d like to see something from a woman’s perspective, and I think that many women out there would love it if they’re planning on doing something in that line as well.
Tell Jason I hope he feels better! He wrote me an email, I shall write him back.
Hehe–the pix.
Hope Jason gets well soon too.
Aww That’s so cute.
Wow, that must be a very hard thing to think through. But I’m sure with some advice of doctors and friends and whatnot you’ll come up with the right choice. Best of luck. I hope it all works out for you well. And I’m glad that you’re feeling better! Yay!
I hope you are all doing well. I feel bad that I haven’t been able to keep up with everyone lately, but, as you know, we are having some troubles with Mitch and we just can’t seem to get things sorted out. We’re ready to look into our other options.
Think carefully about the surgery, while it is often quite successful there are risks that just can’t be ignored. But whatever your decision, know that you will have my support.
love that same expression photo… fruits don’t fall far from the tree and all.
have a great weekend… de-stress!
