What I wrote back to Dawn's daughter..

I should have included this with the 1st post....***************** Thank God she is ok!!! that's so horrible that she almost had the surgery and could have had such complications!!! PLEASE tell her we support her NO MATTER WHAT.... I never got my surgery and I am not a chicken and no one better ever say it about her where I can hear it. We are to support OBESITY PATIENTS please tell her we love her and have been worried about her and this is why I called the dr's office from MICHIGAN this morning. The lady was so very nice.. I am happy she contacted you. Thanks for writing and Iwill post your letter so everyone can send happy positive thoughts and prayers her way.. Tell her to hang in there.. God has a plan.... He knows better than us what's going on and why.. She'll see why it was for the best that she not have surgery right now. Perhaps she can lose enough weight to not be at risk later and still have the surgery.. In any case... Please encourage her to talk to us. If she doesnt want to get on the board she can email me anytime. thanks again

I agree with you kathy, we all know when it is our turn....took me 5 yrs in total to decide when it was right for me....kathy you have such a wonderful heart! Mary

That was so sweet Kathy. I totally agree with your sentiments. That is pretty much what I had posted to your original. Keep Up The Good Work Whitney
