Less than 48 hours......

Well I'm in countdown mode......tomorrow I will leave for Ocala and stay in a hotel overnight.....then bright and early to check in at the hospital at 6am. I managed to dodge the majority of the last minute comments from co-workers today .... i.e. " cant you just try weigh****chers?" Grrrrr! But I refuse to let them steal my sunshine........I have waited for this moment for a very long time and before that I spent my entire childhood praying for a second chance ( finding out about this procedure a handfull of years ago was a godsend) I am so excited that I am going to be able to do all the things with my children I have always wanted to do but could not because of my size, and if it wasnt my size stopping me it was my lack of confidence because of my size. I am so blessed to have made friends from this site, and to have learned so much from reading their posts. I am going to keep mine as current as possible so maybe I too will give someone strength and insight one day. Well WOOHOOO- I am almost there : ) I am going to cuddle with my 3 angels now ......this will be the first time in my life I have been away from them......but its worth it, this procedure will get me in better shape to have many many many more moments with them. GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME!! Margo Marie

Best of Luck to you Margo Marie! I have a little one too, and know that it was the best solution to make sure I can watch her grow up. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted. Molly LAP RNY 10/4/06 318/292/150
