Topic: RE: Last day to post!
Hi Miss Katherine and Juan! It was so much of a blessing to be able to be with you guys on Saturday. I hold it an honor to have met you two. John and I talked about you two all the way home it seems, we are just so happy for you. We are looking forward to a lifetime full of hugs and friendship. Distance is not what rules a friendship ... we have phones and email ... and we truly care about you! Always keep God with you on this journey, and His love will take care of you. Annie & John.
Topic: 14 hours to go!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it's here already. I've been patiently waiting to get to this point and now that I have, I'm SCARED TO DEATH!!!!! I think I have every emotion possible running through my head right now. My 8 year old this morning with tears in her eyes said "mommy, please don't go get surgery, I don't want something to go wrong". Breaks my heart to think of the pain and emotional roller coaster my family is going through right now. It really makes me think, am I doing the right thing. My god, what if something does happen, and I elected to have this surgery, it's a terrible thought. But, I have god's hands on me right and the thoughts and prayers from all you wonderful people. I've got to say, is so much appreciated. I'll keep you all in my thoughts as I journey to the losing side. Best wishes to all and thanks so much again.
Topic: Preop Anxiety
I am scheduled for open RNY on July 31st. I know this is right for me, but I'm going through ( normal?) anxiety about the surgery, hospital stay, and home recovery. I try staying focuses as much as possible on a year from now, but the concerns keep coming back. I'll be so glad when this is all behind me!
Topic: GOOD LUCK ALL!!
Good Luck to all having surgery this week! I will be 1 week post op Monday 21st and am feeling wonderful! I know you are feeling soooo excited and nervous about this whole thing ~ but try to relax - take your mind off the up comming event and put your trust in GOD. If you can get out of the house and do something in the days before surgery it helps. (I went to the movies and saw a double feature.) If you can't everybody at this site is here for your support. Heres to a very uneventful surgery and recovery for all.

Topic: Pre-op jitters for the 22nd!
Oh, my, I did not expect to be feeling this anxious! I'm excited & frightened at the same time. I'm even second guessing myself about whether this is the right thing to do! (I know it is in my heart) I'm isolating which is easy to do since I live alone. This is SO major. My whole life is going to be so different. I just keep reminding myself of all the things I will be able to do as the weight comes off. Hike, ride rollercoasters, fit in an airplane seat comfortably, etc. Congrats to all of us July people! Best wishes to all whose date is coming soon & a speedy recovery.
Topic: RE: Last Supper Syndrome
I'm sure there's a whole bunch of us in this boat. Mine is happening on the 22nd & the closer it gets the more I think "what can I have today that I won't be able to have for a long time?" I think it's all part of some kind of weird grieving process!
Topic: RE: I'm healing each day!
So glad to hear all went well. Don't worry, the weight will be coming off before you know it. Sounds like your recovery is going well. I go for mine the 22nd.
