Hi Sandra, I had the surgery on March 27th. And as the day grew closer I thought about changing my mind, but then I thought about the quality of the life I was living and just couldn't give up on myself. I know it's scary...but what helped me the most was praying. I truly believe my surgery was a gift from God. Just think how many people suffered and still suffer from our disease and how lucky we are that we can do something about it in this lifetime! One thing nobody told me about was that the first 3 days would be so painful. But if you think about it...3days is NOTHING compared to all we've already been through. Today (it's only been a month and a half) the first weeks are a blurr...I don't even think about it...and I've lost 40lbs. My skin is perfect,I sleep good every night, my urinary incontinence is gone, my depression is gone, I look and feel great, and yes, I would do it allover again. Hang in there...God Bless all you guys having surgery soon... Love Paola

Hi Sandra my surgery is Monday May 17 too. I know what you mean about the fear. We will just have to Pray a little harder this week and on Monday we will be just fine. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS.
