Dear Amy: I just wanted to tell you, the nerves are a very natural part of this process. IF you weren't nervous, I'd wonder what kind of drugs you were on. ha ha. Seriously, my surgery is tomorrow and I am literally at peace. I know what I am facing, and I know it is worth the 3 or 4 days of bad pain, and the 6 weeks of being tired. Heck, I'm exhausted now! You are young, that is in your favor. I am thrilled that you are taking this step to free yourself from the prison of morbid obesity. I am setting myself free tomorrow. I'll see you on the other side.
