"Is this a sign?"

~BRITT~ How long have u been researching WLS? Are you making an educated/informed decision? or an impulsive one? Have you come to some inner peace with all the possible complications/risks of this surgery and how the possible benefits for you outweigh those? Do you have a support network? How has a change in surgery date if any changed your decision? Just some points to ponder. I appreciate the jitters, think many of us expereince these, but if you made the decision rationally and educated/informed that is about all one can do. The nkown is out there for us all, it doesn't have to paralyze us, it can actually motivate us t o know this is right for us now. i wish u the best no matter what u decide! HUGS! (Kinda like pre marriage jitters for some, differnt but similar!) Jamie

Jamie, I have researched WLS for 2 years. I do know this is what I want and have made an educated - well informed decision, I just let my dissapointment & nerves get the best of me. thanks, Britt

Britt, You once told me that you were afraid of NOT getting the surgery for the same reasons you were afraid TO get it. It made total sense to me. You are just going through a brain blip right now...and it's normal! We all feel it at some point. Mine was when we got stuck in traffic on the way to Mercy the day of my surgery. I had to call Mercy to let them know. I said to my Mom, "OMG what if this is a sign???" Just try to relax and feel better...get your strength, and LOAD up on Airborne! Hugs, Karen

Karen, I know that nerves are "normal" just sometimes when it happens to "you" you can make yourself ...lol I am back to my EXCITED ol' self ...counting down the days until I am a LOSSER like you ! hugs, Britt

~~Britt, I knew that you would "snap outta it!" You are doing this because of a "sign" that you were smart enough to recognize,that you need to do this for you, for your health, to be there for your family for a long time, for your daughters to have the benifit of a healthy mom, for yourself most importantly, to be the best you that you can be, to feel healty, be healthy and teach those girls of yours how important it is to take care of our bodies. I like to think that wheni am "delayed" in traffic or whatever gets in my way that God is sparing me from somthing that could happen to me if i was to get there when i expect to get there..an accident of some kind that he is averting me from..just my thoughts... My opinion.. just felt like sharing.

Thanks for sharing JV G big(((( hugs))))) to you thanks again, Britt have you had your surgery yet? Or are you in the process?
