I'm April 4...TOO!
Maryann,
I am glad I came to the board also. I have spoken to my friends and family, but they don't seem to understand how big of a step this is for me. At least you all understand that this is more than just lose weight surgery. It involves a lifestyle change and I am ready to take that step.
I'm just glad there is somewhere I can go to read and share what I am feeling from time to time. Have a wonderful day. I have my meeting with the nurse for Lab work tomorrow and then my heart doctor on Thursday.
So I'm going to enjoy today, it is appointment free!Will join you later after running a few earns.
Strengthen your servant ____, O God, to do what he/she has to do and bear what he/she has to bear; that, accepting your healing gifts through the skill of surgeons and nurses, he/she may be restored to usefulness in your world with a thankful heart; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Just add your name where the line is, and recite this prayer when you are feeling nervous.
