QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!!!!
Hi Jolyn,
I'm going to share this although it may sound silly and ridiculous. I used to smoke 2 1/2 packs a day and my worst time was driving. I would get a straw and inhale through it, as I did I would think about how good the fresh air felt ... I would then hold it for a few seconds and then slowly exhale. I don't know WHAT (possibly God) told me to do this but it worked for me. It seemed to be relaxing. I'm hoping to find something similar to replace my eating habits (as talked about in the question posted here). For what it's worth, I hope this helps you.

Pre-Op Answer: One thing ?? Impossible !! I have gone through phases on what I've worried about but I've been worried about something ever since I made the decision to have the surgery ! When I first read the memorial pages I worried about dying from a pulmonary embolism because I have a history of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), then I worried about finding a good surgeon that wouldn't make me wait a year for a consultation. I've worried about losing "me" once I lost weight because I don't remember what it feels like to be thin. I've worried that my marriage will suffer as so many marriages seem to when one of the couple has WLS. I also went through a phase where I worried that I'd be the only person who wouldn't lose very much weight after the surgery and right now....... I'm worried that I will be denied by my insurance company ! I'm pretty dang tired of worrying. haha
I have a few worries but my main one is who will help raise my nephews and neice? I took them in back in 1991 when my brother was murdered and although one boy is out of school and the girl will soon be, I will still have one that is a freshman in high school. I know I have other brothers to help me but they all have their own lives. But I put all things in the BIG man's hands and I know all will be well.
