To all the June pre-ops

Thanks for the inspiration and positive energy. I could use it!! Friday's my day and I'm on pins and needles. Linda

Wow! I really needed to read this. I have my surgery on the 15th and I'm scared to death. Your right, I need to look at myself now, then picture myself a year from now. Just the fact that my health will improve, and I'll be able to buy clothes at any store. But... the closer it's getting I'm so moody, not fun to be around right now. Glad you doing good and may you continue to do so. Shonece

WOW, thanks.... That visualization actually helped!!! I don't know if I'll be skipping to the OR though! Oh my, I can hardly wait to get the old me back. I was just a bitty little thing before I started having babies! I don't blame the babies, though.... I blame me. There was something I was doing wrong! or was it something I wasn't doing???? Take care and blessings to you and to everyone in JUNE! Barb

Sorry Barb, I can't resist. But it was probably something you ate! LOL Debbie

You are right Greg, My original surgery date was May 23rd but because of my stepdads surgery had to postpone it till June 23rd. I have been been reading the profiles for hours every night, and have been getting more and more nervous as time goes by, I have lost the 15 lbs I needed to lose by the doc, and even went it better to 30 lbs, now I am just trying to not gain anything before the surgery. Would it be terrible for me to admit, I looked at a woman that had Panni....dang I can't even spell it. I have to admit the skin part is freaking me out alittle. Afraid I won't be able to cope if I have problems. Wow, I haven't admitted that to anyone else, but here. Everyone on the boards has been so supportive and helpful, I don't know what I would have done without finding you all. Tammy
