I finally have my date!!!

I am scheduled for March 1st, 2004. I cannot believe it. All of a sudden it happened. I feel like I have been waiting a lifetime, and now it is scheduled and is in two weeks. I am scared and excited at the same time. I have three young children and a very loving husband and they are all I can think of right now, what if? You know! If anyone has encouragment, I would gladly take it right now. Thanks so much.

Hi Lynne, Welcome to the Marchers!!!! Hugs, Mo

NO playing the WHAT IF game... nope can't do it.. ain't having it!!!!!! When this sneaks up on you simply focus on the goal at hand.... Happy Healthy Hottie YOU!!!!!!! You're past worrying.. don't ruin this.. it's the happiest time you've had in too long.. You've fought for this for too long and you know you're right. Positive happy feelings and thoughts are all that are allowed from this point on because this is what gets ya through!!!! Keep your eye on the prize!!!! It's your time to throw down the pom poms and get into the game!!!! There's a southern saying about "WHAT IF FROGS HAD WINGS SO THEY WOULDN'T BUMP THEIR BUTTS" doesn't make sense to me but neither does worrying and saying "WHAT IF" there's another one about "WHAT IF SOMETHING ATE GOLD DUST WOULD IT POOP GOLD BRICKS" OK I forgot most of that one Good Luck and WELCOME MARCHER!!!!!

That's my Angel...flying in with that good advice! Listen to what Kathy and Carrie say...they're right!! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to all Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles Zero-minus-21 and counting!

Hi Lynne, I think it is natural to think about the what if. You wouldn't be human if you didn't. But the thing to try to remember is that "what if" you don't have this surgery. Your children are going to get their mother for maybe the first time in their lives! Your husband is going to get a wife who is beautiful and has the energy! to do things with him!!! Keep your eyes on the goal. I have two small children (2 1/2 years and 14 months) so I have gone through the "what if's" too. But I know that without this surgery I most likely won't be here to watch them grow up and I won't be here to see my grandchildren. I want to be there when my children graduate high school, graduate college , get married and have children of their own etc. And I'm sure that's what you want too. I am tired of sitting at home and waving bye-bye to my kids and my husband as they go off for walks or bike rides because I hurt to much or don't have the energy to go with them. So when you think of the "what if's" think of them on both sides and then give them to God and let Him handle it from there. You can also come here for a little bit of lift. This site and everyone here has been such a blessing to me and when you are feeling down you come tell us. We will lift you back up!!!! You are going to get your LIFE back!!! Take a hot and remind yourself that you are doing this because it is the best thing for you! God Bless!!! Carrie Carrie Quite Contrary (3/11)
