Just saying Hi!

Hi, my name is Holly and I am having surgery on Sept. 29. I am so nervous and worried. I went to the nutrition class last Thursday. It was very informative. I also thought it was a little scarry. They explained all the wires and tubes and things that will be hooked up to the body. It made me a little nervous. I thought to myself, what have I got myself into. I am tired of being fat and tired of being tired all the time. I want to feel better and have more energy. I have had some incouraging words and they are great. I just wish my husband would be happy about it. He does not want me to get the operation done. He worries something is going to happen to me and or I am going to lose weight and leave him. That is so not true and I want him to know that I love him and I want to do this for me. I want to have a happy and healthy life. I want to see my kids grow up and everything that happens along the way.

Holly, You are soo normal to have fear about the surgery but, you will find all the courage you need to get through. As you explained your husband..I thought you were talking about mine ! I had my surgery on 7/8/05.. I made it through , I was scared too.. PRAY if you do.. If you don't.. I will PRAY for you.. Elizabeth
