I need an angel !!! Pleaseeeee

Hey everybody..i'm having surgery done on 12/28 in st lukes hospital ..if anyone is able to be my angel please write me back as soon as possible ..thanks

What's it take to be an angel? Connie

I am not sure - I didn't have one. I think it is someone that follows your progress, checks on you in the hospital, and then acts as sort of a mentor as you progress post-op. If I am wrong I hope someone corrects me. Joe

An angel is someone who lives close by to their angelette and helps them get through the Surgery. they are also responsible for posting on the messageboard to update their progress. hop this helps. Melissa on the California Messageboard 365/332/Surgery date 12/29/04 Woooo Hoooo!!!

Hi, My date is 12/30, curious do you every have second thoughts?

Hi Kelly, In answer to your question, YES! I was supposed to have my surgery last year. But I chickened out at the last minute. I just was not 100% sur that this WLS was for me. So To make a long story short ^5 lbs later I changed my mind to go ahead and have the Surgery. I could not stand the constant pain that I was in and still do have a lot of pain. I came to terms with myself and said who am I kidding, I do not want to be like this the rest of my life or worse I do not want to dye without a second chance of a new Life. GIRL all I can say is If you are not 100% sure that this WLS is not for you then put it off until you yourself come to terms with it. It is OK to be scared who isn't? I am scared but I know it is a chance that I am willing to take to live a much longer and healthier life than I do right now. I hope this answers your question. Take care and I hope you keep your date for WLS you deserve a chance to LIVE again... Melissa A
