Beginning of the end

In less than 24 hours I will be in an operating room having my life changed forever! No more guilt, shame and dread about being "super morbidly obese". No more dress rehearsal for life. No more "when I get thin" or buying a pair of pants because they will fit if I just lose 10 pounds and three years later they hang in the closet with the tags because instead, I gained another 5, 10 or 15.........
I can't imagine how many things will change and that is why at this very moment I am simultaneously ecstatic and terrified.
Please pray for me.

Jean you will be in great hands. Dr. L is an awesome surgeon and will take the best care of you. Your feelings are all perfectly normal.
Remember to take before pictures of yourself. That is one thing I did not do and I regret it because I have nothing to compare to.
I will keep you in my prayers and I promise to update everyone as soon as I hear from your husband.

~~Never regret something that once made you smile~~
