Pre-op consulation: December 14th.
Date fast approaching.
You're here because you know me. You're here because you've been invited to read my blatherings. Before you leave a comment or question--ask yourself whether you are a Twinkie or a glass of milk?

WLS Chronicles: Blaring Lack of a Support System
Here's an actual email exchange between me and the husband today in regards to my pre-op consultation in December, which I had hoped he'd accompany me to (obviously, read from the bottom up--yes, I am TOO lazy to restructure this in ascending order):

From Me to Him:
Dunno how long the appt IS; however, who knows how long I'll have to wait before seeing him. We could go for the appt, then lunch, then the shrink and go home, if you want...
And uh... what do you want me to do about the appts? THERE ARE A LOT. And I have a finite amount of time that I can take off to handle everything. If I take multiple days, it then cuts into either my sick time I have banked for the surgery/recovery, or it'll cut into my vacation time.
You don't have to go if you don't want to. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Just keep in mind, I'm only in NY because of YOU, and YOU are all I've got as far as a support system. Either you're a part of this, or you're not. But this is my life. And I'm not going to beg you to love me enough to support me. Either you do, or you don't.
Lunchtime.
Peace out.
