2 more days for my surgery!!
OH MY!
Two more days for my surgery with Dr. Roye...what craziness it's been. I have had 2 major set backs with my thyroid levels. Too HIGH. Too LOW....gee****omorrow I am going to spend the day with my boyfriend and my kitties and try and focus, pray and relax.
I have to admit I have met so MANY different people in the last month who have had the surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat. Yes, setbacks can happen but you must remember the BIG picture they say. Remember all the years of being fat and stared at. Not being able to ride a bike, hike a path or walk up a flight of stairs without having to stop at the top for a breath. My body cannot keep up anymore. We have all been there and this is why we are all here now..finally doing something about it and looking forward to a healthy and happy life.
Everyone that I have met has been SO awesome and excited for me. Megan who was a year out of surgery, her and I had lunch together and talked like we were old friends! In my class at the CoOp I met Roxanne who I instantly bonded with. I know she will be a friend for a long time to come! And just yesterday in the market I met a girl in line who knew the girl in the other line who had the surgery 3 years ago. I introduced myself...and this perfect stranger hugged and kissed me and said, "You will be just fine, its the beginning of the rest of your life!" She felt and looked fantastic and most of all she was finally living life with a healthy body and enjoying her children and husband.
I'm nervous and excited,
but I have friends and family who are praying for me and I too have prayed for a healthy future which I am looking forward to and getting that second chance at enjoying it in a new body. Thank you all!

You met all of those people not by mistake, but because you were supposed to get small messages that you are on a new journey to start your new life and to help in giving you living proof that this works and some peace surrounding it...now get some rest..pack your things...enjoy your boyfriend (because you won't for a while) and play with your kitty's...keep us posted

Dee,
I am so happy for you!!! Sorry I haven't been around much, I feel so bad because I really wanted to go out with you again before the surgery. But I will have you in my thoughts and prayers all day tomorrow. Tuesdays are a lucky day for Dr.Roye and surgery, that was when I had mine.
If you are okay with this idea, please have your boyfriend call me once you are out of surgery (or the next day). I'd like to come visit you once you are able to have visitors (usually when they move you to the Co-op building). Do you still have my cell number?
Good luck to you (more for today than tomorrow, for me the damn bowel prep was more miserable than my recovery after surgery). You are a strong, wonderful woman who will soon be where I am (remember all those wonderful things you told me about myself when we met for lunch?). I can't wait to say all that to you!
All my positive thoughts are aimed right at you! Megan
