July 03 surgeries--take care of you!
Hello all! I just want to send out a little reminder to have everyone take some time for themselves before surgery. I am having a massage, pedicure and (ha-ha) chins wax before my day on 7/2/03. I am finding that journaling and enjoying my family and myself is the best medicine to avoid those pre-surgery jitters! Good luck everyone-- I will be watching to see how you all are doing.

Hi Lorilee,
Taking time for yourself, what is that?????? After taking care of a mother who was sick for some many years and passses away several years ago and raising 2 babies, I found myself consummed in taking care of them. Me, now that's another story, I problably wouldn't be were I am now because of neglect of myself, I realized my weight and health were getting out of control, but why did it have to take so long for me to realize it?. I believe this surgery is a step towards taking care of me, only me and concentrating on my health and my needs first. After all I deserve it, I want to enjoy life and be happy. So, officially July 3rd.....I'm taking responsibily for my on body and my own actions to a new life, my second chance. Good luck to you all on your wls journey, I suggest we buckle our seat belts and enjoy the ride... .....
I too am scheduled for July 3. We all know how we are going to celebrate or 4th of July BBQ thru an IV!!!! Wish us all luck! Lois McDonald [email protected]
Another July 3rd surgery here. I remember all those weeks waiting for approval, waiting--waiting--waiting. Now it seems as if time is flying so fast! I, too, have reacted to the stress by eating; don't know if I can curb it before surgery, but I'm determined to behave after it. 18 days and a wake up and I'll be celebrating 4th of July with my new best friend: Morphine! God's healing on all my brothers and sisters....
