March 28 - One month to go!

Well, I admit to being scared. I have had a lot of health challenges, but this one is the pinnacle. I am feeling great remorse at being a slug for so many years, and feeling as if I have failed miserably to get to this point. I look forward to being thinner and lighter, but feel a sense of God's justice in that I did not take care of what he gave me. I know it must be done, but at this point I admit to very mixed emotions.

Hi John, I understand the feelings. I feel the same sometimes. You've suffered long enough...Let's work hard at this second chance and praise the Lord for giving us this opportunity!!! Leslie Middleburg Hts., OH

Thanks, Leslie. I got word today all my tests have been received by the surgeon. Two more interviews by him and the pulmanologist, then one more support group session, and all that is left is surgery. I told someone today that I have moved from being scared to being resigned. My prayer is to be at 'happy' by Christmas. Thanks for your encouraging words and prayers. John
