I am packing my bag.

It is now very late but I am still trying to get my stuff together to leave. I finally decided anything I don't have with me is not important. My hubby , myself and our two daughters will leave in the morning for Jacksonville. About a 5 hour drive. We will get settled in tomorrow night and then Monday I have pre op and then Tues will be my surgery day. I feel confident in this now. I know I am making the best decision for me. I have had a little "conversation" with God and we see this as my best chance to make life good again. I want to watch my children excell and my grandchildren grow up. I want to be a participant and not a spectator of life. Gotta go to bed and see if I can get some rest. Up in the morning and off to start my new life. You all have a great week and good luck to all that are having surgery while I am gone. Carol

Take Care Carol!! Have a safe trip and Hurry Back! {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGZ}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Becky

We will be waiting to hear from you when you get back home and join us on the losing side! If you don't rest that well, don't worry too much about it, as you'll be getting rest one way or another on Tuesday!! You'll do just fine!!! Congratulations and take care! Jan

Carol, those little conversations are always the best. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon. Nancy

Carol , I am right behind you and believe me I have had several talks w/ God myself and I know and feel that this is also the best option for me. Good luck and prayers for a speedy recovery, take care and keep us posted!

YAY CAROL!!!!! We can be WLS twins since we go the same day and now have the same angel! Best of luck to you, you'll do great! Danielle

As long as you know you are moving in the right direction everything will work out. I thought that I would be so happy if only half of what people told me would happen> They never could have told me what a positive difference it would be. The same surprises wait for you and your family. Just trust that you are moving in the right direction. You will be in my thoughts and pryers. Please try to keep us posted. The sun is about to come up on the rest of your life. Brian

Carol, I'm in "conversation" right now with God that He will direct your surgeon's hands thru this operaiton. We already know that His presence will be there. The morning of my surgery I was at complete peace about my decision. Looking forward to hearing from you post op. LuvitsunnyV@goal

Good luck, I will be praying for you tomorrow. See you on the losing side of life Tracey

Carol, You're in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember you're giving yourself & your family the best gift of all - more healthy years to love & enjoy each other! Vickie J.
