I am so sorry about the surgery... you must have been right to stop it, if the pain was unbearable. don't be disappointed in yourself, I'm sure you did all you could. is there any other way to do it? is there any drug uou could take to ease the pain? I wish you the best, I hope you'll find a way to go through this. take care.  

hey you...put the whip away and let julie breathe a bit. Pain is hard- really hard...it's painful ! so give yourself a minute and you will figure out exactly what you're supposed to do and when you are supposed to do it....and oh yeah.... double fat, double failure...totally not aloud- 4 letter words. you are neither!! 

Don'tbe so hard on yourself. I'm surprised they tried to do it with local pain relief. My best friend had a general anaesthetic when she had it done. Will that be an option for you? or perhaps they hadn't got the pain relief right for you. I hope you manage to sort it out next week. Take care :)  

If I remember right you are the one that doesn't do well w/ gen anaesthetics?? hm, you have ever right to stop the procedure. Don't be so hard on yourself.. 

It's okay if you had to stop it. I would too if the pain was so unbearable and I was awake for it. Don't feel bad. You did what your body could handle. Chin up! 

You are not a failure. If anything your doctors failed you. I can not imagine them doing that procedure without general anesthetic. That must have been dreadful! I am so sorry! I hope they will put you under something better for the next go. There is no reason this should cause you pain during the process like that! There are alternatives and the anesthesiolgist needs to do his/her homework to make sure you are comfortable. {{{{{hugs}}}}}} 

I hope you are feeling better today ... and figuring out the next step. I second Sharon's post ... "double fat, double failure" ... Quadruply NOT PERMITTED!!! Just tough times ... there will be another day!! 

Julieanne, you are not double fat, double failure. Girl...where do you come up with these things? I am not good at pain, either. Why don't they put you OUT a little bit? I would have stopped it too, honey. No sense in being stoic and being in such bad pain. Love ya and our M&M's 

Ok, today you failed. Move on, see what's next! Tomorrow is another day, and I totally understand about the problem you had with the anesthesia - it's a tough call when you have to have surgery. 

You agreed and tried the procedure. There are people out there that are too afraid to do what you did. Give yourself a pat on the back for trying and standing up for yourself! You would have felt worse if you subjected yourself to even more pain. You did the right thing. 

We all have to focus on something other than food, there so much more to life than that. I'm sorry to hear about the difficult times you have been having and particularly concerned about your tone. I totally agree with Sharon about being so down on yourself (although I know it's just a way of pushing yourself a bit). Just do the best you can Veggies, but make sure it really is the best. You deserve more.  

Hi Veggies! How are you doing?? 

I came late-sorry! Yes-Veggies-how are you? FYI-agree with everyone else-the docs failed you-you took care of yourself by listening to your body-pain is a very strong message! I hope you will try again-this time with a general or more efficient method of "twilight" sleep. Let us know how you are doing, okay? xo D
