Ready, Set, Surgery on August 22.

12 day to my surgery day. Am I nervous, excited, scared? Well, I feel more at peace than I have my whole life. Finally I am going to have a chance at life. It is like getting a second chance to live. Today I feel at ease but the closer the day get we will see how I feel. To all my August Loser Sisters and Brother...you go girl...you go boy. See you on the other side. Derith

Sista Girl you are going to be fine. My time is coming too on the 20th so tired and so ready for a new out look on my life. Just knowing that I 'll will have so much more control over my life, how I eat and my quality of life. I have my final appointment tomorrow with all the last pre-op and surgeon visit. Just a tad bit nervous but again so ready. The Lord watches over all of us.

My surgery is also scheduled for Aug. 22. I know exactly how you feel. I am so excited and very ready. I wish you the best of luck, and know that you will do great! Dianne Jones Morgantown, WV

I too am scheduled for surgery on the 22nd. And I feel exactly as you - at peace! God has given me a peace that passes ALL understanding concerning the RNY. I have been asked many times if I am nervous - and my "stock" answer is always "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Why, because it is in His plan! I cannot be nervous when God has placed his arms of mercy around me and given me grace - a gift that I cannot earn. I will be in prayer over the next few days for everyone; even though I cannot call every name individually, God knows us all individually and that's what matters. I wish God's grace, mercy, peace and healing powers to all the August WLS members. Be blessed in the Lord!
