Wednesday Surgery time...

Shawn...thank you!! I can't wait to be on the losing side of this long journey. Hugs, Cheryl

Nerves are all part of the game. As I tel folks it's what makes us human - we want to live. You're stepping into a new world and you will have all kinds of crazy feelings. That's all normal. Keep your focus and know you are doing the right thing. You will have an easier time recovering because your mindset will be on success. Follow your doc's rules and think of this as a mission that you are in control of. You have taken charge and your end results will be fantastic. Just wait and see. You ROCK!!!!! kp

Hi KP...Thanks for the wonderful advice, and to know I am normal. haha I just can't wait to step into the new world of being on the losing side of this long journey. I can't wait to see the results, it just don't seem possible. Hugs Cheryl

Hi Cheryl, Wow, less than 24 hours to go. I know you're nervous, but it'll all turn out good. Keep focused and stay busy as much as possible today. I'll keep ya in my thoughts. Hugs Linda

Thanks Linda, Today is the day...finally. Where did the time really go though. Wish me luck and see you on the other side. hugs Cheryl

Dear Cheryl, I just took the time to read your entire page of posts that has led you up to this point. I am so happy you have a loving family and such a wonderful support system in place! I'm certain you are nervous and, BELIEVE ME, that is normal!!! I can tell you have a strong faith and it is time to trust in your faith and say a prayer for a successful surgery. I will say a prayer for you, too!! I have often referred to this board for insight and advice, although I do not post all that often. You will soon be losing and wonder why you ever had any doubts!!! (I myself am 6 1/2 months out of surgery and down 106 lbs. Yipee!!!) Please know there are many "cyber friends" on this board who care about you!! My best wishes to you. Hugs, Nancy K.

Hi Nancy... Thanks for posting and reading my profile page. It seems there is always something new to add to that, I guess it could be a book. haha So far this morning I am doing ok...I will post when I am heading to the hospital so everyone knows. I hope I get lots of prayers and well wishes while I am away for a couple of day. WOW...super job on your weight loss, I bet you are sooo happy with those results. I hope I can be that successfull. I did check out your profile...why is it empty?? I love to read on others stories, especially successfull ones, and yours is very successsfull! update it. Hugs, Cheryl
