Tomorrow is my BIG day!

Hi Leeanne, Thanks for the prayers... They mean so much to me! I know that everything will be just fine... I will walk it out. One day at a time... Thanks so much for the encouragement!! God Bless! Love, Kathy

Hey Kathy, I can sooo relate to your story. I have 34 days until my surgery and I suffer from terrible anxiety. I already have anxiety attacks about it and I have a while to go. So, what you are feeling is normal. Be proud of yourself that you made it for the liquid fast. That in itself is probably one of the hardest parts. So good job on that. The Lord says He will give us a peace that is not known here on earth. Ask him for it and remind him of that promise. It is yours for the taking. All you have to do is ask for it. Easier said then done believe me. I pray for it all the time. LOL. Good luck tomorrow. You are going to do wonderful and be a loser before you know it. God's blessings to you! Hugs, Di

Hi Di, thank you so much for the encouragement! I keep telling myself that the Lord can not lie and I keep thinking about how he keeps his promises. It is so good to know (in a weird kinda way) that I am NORMAL!!! LOL Imagine that!! I know that everything will be just fine, and I will get through this. I have to because I want to be healthy more than anything. Even more than the fear of what is to come. It has been one of those days of reflection and I started thinking about when I started thinking about having the surgery. I remember about 3 sumers ago I was driving for Kalamazoo County Care-A-Van. (I normally drive a school bus during the school year) Anyways... I had a client on board who had her legs amputated. She started telling me her story and she told me she had been overweight all her life and developed diabetes. Because of her health problems, which all stemmed from her weight, she was on kidney dialaysis, lost both of her legs, had diabetes, High Blood Pressure and many other things. She died a couple of months later. It hit me hard because I do not want to have to deal with ANY of those things. As I look at it now, I would rather go through this 3 hour surgery and get better, than be on Kidney dialaysis 3 hours-3 days a week. I know this is the absolute right decision... and I will be succesful!! And whats even better... SO WILL YOU!!!! I know that we both can do this!! I will be praying for you as well!!! You don't have very long to go.. It will be here before you know it! Thanks again & God Bless! Love, Kathy

Oh Sweetheart, you will do just fine! You are in my prayers... I'll be sending you lots of love tomorrow! By the time you are home I will be having my WLS. God be with you! I'll talk to you soon! Love, Brandee

Hi Brandee! Thanks so much for the prayers and encouragement! Today is my day and God is so good because I have peace and I am Excited. Im ready for this next phase in my life. Good luck on your upcoming surgery... It will be here before you know it. I will keep you in my prayers as well. God Bless!! Love, Kathy
