Debbie,
I'm also scheduled to have surgery on 1/25/05 in Tallahassee, FL., so I know how you're feeling! Because of my faith, I know what will happen if I die. So I'm not so scared of dying, but more frightened of having major complications and becoming a burden on my family. But I have to believe that God has a plan and since He has brought me to this place in my life, He will bring me through it. I'm having WLS to improve my health so I can be there for my family & I can enjoy the rest of my life. You have to remember WHY you're doing this and have faith that all will go well. Prayers & Hugs
