Kayla,
Just remember why you started this journey. You are almost there. Know
that God is with you and he has not brought you this far to fail you. Just
know that you will be in my prayers and hold on. Keep looking up, your
life is just beginning.

Kayla,
Close your eyes, relax and let yourself think, onthe dreams you've had of
being thinner and healthier. Now, picture the beautiful inner Kayla and the
body of Kayla, lining up. Oh man, you have come so far. You go girl. You'll
be, just fine and happy that you did it!
Hugs, Normie

Kayla, there is nothing to afraid of. I don't know if you are a Christian,
but I just put myself in the hands of God and I did so wonderful. I lost
110 lbs in 8 months and will be 2 yrs out this June and have kept it off.
This surgery will turn your life around and you won't be sorry. Keep the
faith...judy

Hi Kayla:
You will be in good hands, my dear. Having this surgery was the best thing
I ever did for myself, and my well-being. I want to hear from you when you
recover, and are on the "losing" side. Have faith, and know that
this is the beginning of your new, wonderful life. I know you will do
exceedingly well, and I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers. I
personally have my life back thanks to surgery! I could never have imagined
feeling this wonderful and free, but I do. You will enjoy the same success,
Kayla! It is sooooo worth it! I know you will be another success story!
Have a speedy recovery, and put yourself in the hands of your very capable
Doctor.~ Much love and continued good wishes, Pam

Kayla,
you can do this don't be scared, because I will be in your shoes in one
week and going to need you to hold my hand. I have had 10 surgery's in 4
years I'm kinda like a pro at it now. But there is no getting used to it.
Put your faith in the Lord and he will see you through. I always say a
prayer as there putting me under verses counting back wards it makes things
a lot easier. The long nap is great, the drugs after are awesome, you will
be fine. I'm more worried about giving up the food after words. It seems
really hard to belive I will not want to eat. But thats what they all have
told me. So just stay focused remember why your doing it, and ask the Lord
to be by your side and to guide you through it. My prayers will be with
you. Please keep us posted.

Kayla,I am so happy for you , you will be so glad you did it. I had my
surgery 5 months ago and have lost 71 lbs so far and I know damn well I
would never have lost it without surgery. I feel so good I feel alive
again.I would do it again no doubt.It's normal to be nervous, I was ready
to jump off the surgery prep table, I am so glad I didnt . I know I have a
long way to go but atleast now I know there is a light at the end of the
tunnel. So YOU GO GIRL!!!!! It's an amazing journey, good luck to you. It
is so worth it.!!!!!!!!Pam p.s. remember- sip,sip,sip,chew,chew, chew
protein,protein,protein!!!!!

Kayla,
I can tell you about my experience of nearly two years ago. (Wow, it's hard
to believe it's been that long.) I, too, was a bundle of jangled nerves for
a few days before my surgery. I knew I was ready to do this, but I was
nervous anyway. For some reason, when I awoke the morning of my surgery I
was incredibly calm. I can't explain it, maybe all of the prayers I felt
surrounding me helped me to remain calm. I hope you know that many of us
here who have been through this already, do know what you are thinking and
feeling now. We will be thinking good thoughts and praying for you. May
that help to reassure and calm you. Looking back now, I wonder why I was so
nervous anyway. This was absolutely the best decision I've ever made in my
life. Best wishes for health and happiness always!
Donna

86 lbs. I feel so much better at 228 lbs. than I did at 314 lbs. I can't
wait for you to be on the losing side too! Good job, Kayla!
