Surgery Tomorroooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I would be more worried about you if you didn't have the nerves about doing this. It IS major life altering surgery. We all will be praying for you tomorrow as you make your journey to looservillle!!!!
Deep breaths - follow your surgeons orders and all will be fine. I have FAITH in the Lord that he will watch over you and your family as you make this joyus transition.
God luvs ya and so do we!

Michelle,
Without a doubt I really know how you feel.
My daughter turned three the day after I had my VBG. July 7th, 93 was the surgery, her bday is July 8th. I figured at 320 at the time that if I didn't do it I would for sure I'd keep gaining and probably not be there for when she got older.
My original surgery was at Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh and 3 hours south of where we lived. I have a now ex husband who was a REAL @$$ and not only did he not attempt to come see me even ONCE the ENTIRE hospitalization of seven days he didn't attempt to bring or have anyone else bring the kids down for us to visit.
Of course this is the man who told me "I don't want you to have this surgery 'cause you'll loose all kinds of weight and wanna leave me". I told him point blank at that time preop that "I'm fat & I want to leave you so having surgery wont change that fact" And it didn't. I divorced him two & a half years later! What it did do is gave me the self esteem to do it!
As far as your babies go ... going down from 320 down to 117 made a difference in my ability to be a healthy Mom and be there for my children as they grew up. This year my daughter turned 15 and my son will be 18 in December. Because of WLS I got to see them grow up to be beautiful (OK Adam, handsome, LOL) young adults and now I have years of grandbabies to look forward to as well!
Michelle, you sound just like i did the day before surgery,wondering if i was making the right decision,for myself and for my babies,i remember waking up from surgery,thinking what have i done,but trust me.I'm only 13 days out and if i had it to do over again even this soon out ,i would.I do believe as far as myself and my babies,this is the best present,i could have given them.I'm looking forward to so many outings with them,i feel better as everyday passes and have more energy.Yesterday me and the kids went to the movies came home,went 4-wheel riding,and i watched them in the yard.I wouldn't have done this a month ago due to my legs and feet swelling not being able to walk.My children and i will say a little prayer for you and your family,things will go good,look up and have faith,just think about how much fun your babies are going to have becaouse mommy feels better.
Dear Michelle, We are all lifting you in prayer. Please know that the angel of the LORD will encamp all around you and will deliver you. (Ps. 34:7)
Dear LORD, I pray that Michelle will lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make her dwell in safety. (Ps. 4:8)
We will all be waiting for the good report!
Love,
Becky
