A little teary eyed today, but let's have our roll call!!
Hi Vi,
I will pray for you also. My surgery isn't until the 17th but I certainly can relate to being nervous. I was originally scheduled for Sept 9th but I got sick and had to reschedule. When I got sick I thought long and hard about what I was doing and if it was the right thing. I also have multiple sclerosis and getting sick and the surgery and all the rest well.. long story short I realized that I was doing this to make my life better. I am sure as it gets closer I will get nervous and scared but I am doing it is right. Your son sounds very precious, special and one heck of a motivation. He will feel better after your surgery and you are better. Hang in there - Ann
Well Vi!!
As you can see we are all nervous and excited. I am new to this website, and it is wonderful. My surgery is scheduled for Oct. 19th. This Wed. I begin the rough road of clear liquid diet. We can do this. We have so much to live for. We need to put all our doubts aside and focus on what is going to be the most incrediable time of our lives. My daughters (19 & 20) are both scared, but they know and see how miserable I am. They hate that I don't do things outside with them and their dad. And they understand that this is not a selfish act. That I am doing this to live longer and enjoy THEIR futures as well. So, chin up. Let's not worry about what could happen. Lets think about what will happen when this is all over. Please know that you are in my heart. That I will include you in my daily prayers along with all my other WLS friends. Dito for me. Take care. Terri
