3 days to go...

...and I am a freaking emotional mess. I have been crying all weekend. Certain "friends" have let me down lately and work has been crazy. I think today it just all hit me at once. I am afraid that my support is falling apart. My closest friend that was supposed to be there for me is now tending to her husband. He had both feet operated on this past Friday and is unable to bear weight on them for 1 month. She also has a two year old. He scheduled his surgery after I already had my date. So this leaves me to wonder, can I do this alone? I am worried...

You can do this..stay positive...I would help you out if I was not so far away. You will be on a journey to a whole new you...good luck. Hugs, Dori

Thank you!!

Hey surgery sister! I'm March 4th too. Keep the faith and stay strong in your resolve. Don't be afraid to call on other friends, colleagues, and anyone else that you've been there for in the past as well. It may seem "pollyanna-ish" but my experience has been that people are willing to help if we're willing to ask. You'll do great on the 4th! Look forward to sharing great stories of success!

Emily it will be alright!! i promise.... do you have anyone else that can help you out.. another friend.... or possible just a casual friend who may become a good friend through this?? take a deep breath ok.. this was meant to be or you would not be here.. just remember that ok?? make sure to let us know how you are doing.. my surgery is tomorrow and i know i am going to be just fine!!!! i live alone but Bless my DBF he is taking me home with him for a week..... YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! kandy

You can soooo do this! Though your friend had to tend to her family, I am sure she will help you when it's your turn. And even if that is not the case... WE ARE HERE! Dont feel alone, I have no family here just my husband and OH and I am as excited as can be. Do some preping ahead of time as far as your shopping after surgery and count on us to be here!!! You will do great!

You can do it.. My sister told me I didn't need any damn surgery I just needed to stop eating. We have spoken since and that was last november. Just do this for you and don't worry about it. Only a few people checked on me at all and even my favorite neice who is 18 just acted like I had not even had anything done and didn't even call to check on me. I swear.... some people are so caught up in themselves that they can't think past what they need and want. SOOO Just do this for you and focus on how much better off you will be.
