I have a time

Hey all, I got my call and I am the first surgery of the day.  I have to report by 6:00 am and surgery is at 8.  Now I am getting nervous.  I have been like a rock this whole time, but reality is setting in now.  I know this is what I need to get healthy, but what if something happens to me.  I have 3 kids and the thought of them without a mother kills me.  PLEASE keep me in your thought and prayers tomorrow.  I need it. Thanks for being such a great group... Jen

Jen, If you don't do something about your weight, something will happen to you.  You will become diabetic, have heart problems (like me), develop fibromyalgia (like me), sleep apnea (like me), and high cholesterol and high blood pressure (like me)!  You will be there for your children because you are doing this for yourself, your husband, your marriage, and your children.  You will be great! I will pray for a speedy recovery.  I don't mean to sound harsh, I mean to be loving.  I hope you got that . Leslie

Jen,  You will do absolutely great and you'll be getting healthier for your kids.  I wanted to call you tonight, but if I had your number, I've lost it. I've been thinking about you all day and want you to know, give me a call if you need ANYTHING. I'm planning to come by on Wednesday to see you.  If you want to talk or vent or anything, give me a call.  Dont worry, things will go great tomorrow and it will be over before you know it.  Angela

good luck Jen, my prayers are with you. I know how you feel my surgery is in 2 weeks and I'm getting a little nervous. We'll all be here waiting to hear from you

Jen- you have been a rock- have been shocked at how you have been so steady yet I was shaking in my boots at just my dumb consult!   You will do incredible, and this is such a healthy choice for both you and your family.  Today I had a long talk with my PCP about this, and he feels it is such a good choice also

Good luck my surgi-sister.  You are so doing the right thing.  Your kids will grow up and be so proud that mommy took these steps toward a healthier lifestyle for the whole family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers as we hold hands through this journey, hugs, jules

It is 4 am and I am getting ready to leave.  Thank you all for your kind words.  They all meant so much to me.  My hubby will be in touch with Alexia and she and Pam can post any updates.  Thanks for the support.....

I'm sorry. I've missed so many surgeries that came up and hope you all know that I think of you often and wish you all the best of luck and a speedy recovery! ~Dawn
