I just HAD to publicly THANK YOU for your post. I sat at my desk and just sobbed! You SO deserve this, and YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH! This is the best gift you could EVER give yourself...and this IS YOUR TIME!! As far as the no turning back aspect...you may want to for a short time, but in the long run, it will be SO worth it, and you will NEVER want to turn back. I will be 2 years post-op next month, and I would do it all again in a heart beat! You will do GREAT! I am so excited for you! Warm hugs....Rhonda :)

Hi Sally, I've been keeping track of your WLS journey and I just had to tell you how happy I am that you have finally reach the threshold and will be crossing over next week. My prayers are with you. God is so good. He cares for you more than anyone else and you are in His hands. I know you know He truly will take care of you. God bless you. I am so excited for you. See you on the lighter side.

Sally -- I've often read your posts, and you continue to touch my heart. Please feel peace in knowing that it's really okay to take care of yourself. And it's really okay to be scared and nervous, because this is a MAJOR change in our lives. I'm pre-op too, and I also wonder "gee, what if I find I don't like what I've done to myself?". Well, at least I'll be alive to have those thoughts, and you will too. We can kvetch and moan together about our aches and pains -- but I'll bet we'll spend even more time laughing about how loose our clothes are and being amazed at how much better we feel and how much faster we can walk. And run! Why not? The sky's the limit! Take courage, my friend, you are not walking alone on this path. You have many friends right here, and a great big Friend up there, watching over you, carrying you when you need it, propping you up when you need that, and laughing with you when you're able to do it on your own. Many blessings!! Pat

Sally - again you never cease to amaze with your wonderful outlook and your caring heart - again tonight you have bought tears to my eyes. I truly believe that your trip to the salon was your sign from the Big Guy saying all will be alright, just remember that he is already giving us all the best gift ever as we are able to open our eyes and take a breath of air each morning when we arise to face another day (great or full or challenges). You are in my daily thoughts and prayers for the a safe and blessed journey - God Bless...

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I hope surgery and recovery are quick and uncomplicated. Best wishes as you move forward into a healthier life. I don't think I have ever seen such a full surgery page as this one. It shows you just how many friends you have. We all wish you the best, lord knows you have waited long enough for this, you deserve the best of everything!

Congratulations Sally! I am so happy you were able to get a new date so quickly. We will now be having surgery in the same week! (1/17 for me) and I know we will both have problem free, relatively painless recoveries and begin losing and allowing our joints to not ache so much! Good luck and God Bless You!
