Poetic Justice~ Surgery on my birthday Nov. 13/07

I was thrilled to find out today that my RNY surgery has been scheduled on my 45th birthday...Tuesday Nov. 13/07. From that day on, I'll think of my birthday as a rebirth...a cleansing, a new start!! And man am I up for the challenge! Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday to me!!!

I suppose on every birthday, at least two gifts are in order. Congrats to you. You'll be in my prayers.

Awww ....thanks Stephanie...what a sweet thing to say...the part about me being in your prayers I mean. That's a nice thing to say , thank you. And I see just 8 days before on the 5th of November you'll be having surgery yourself. You must be sooooo excited...and with good reason. Just think Stephanie, next year at this time, God willing, we'll both have lost a ton of weight. I myself have prayed for this too...and frankly I never really thought it would happen. I pray I have the strength to stick to whatever it is that I have to do...I so don't want to be fat anymore. I want to live before I die. I know that sounds obvious, but I feel that for the last 3-4 years I've only been existing. I seldom go out anymore cause I'm ashamed of how I look. I've wasted so much time...I want to start LIVING now. I am so ready to live a happy and healthy life. And I hope that you have that too Stephanie. I'll be thinking of you on Nov. 5. Take care my new friend. Anne
