Sally you know if you keep a diary and write in exactly how you write these posts you will have your best selling book all written when you get to your goal and have your life back. It could be called "Journey of a Seriously Morbidly Obese Person" or something like that. I know I'd buy it. It is true what everyone is saying, you are a fantastic writer. Maybe all this has happened so that you can find your calling as a writer? Best wishes Sally, we all love you. Carrie

Dear Sally.........I love your posts and I love you! I hope and pray everyone gets the surgery they need but there are a few special people here that can really make you feel what it's like to be in their shoes and I really cheer for them and their every success feels like it's mine too. You are one of them! You have a wonderful gift for writing and I always read your posts. When you get your surgery date there is going to be the biggest celebration at AMOS! I wish you every success and all the good things the world has to offer cause you deserve them! God bless :)

Sally please don't give up. I cried as I read your post today. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! You have your AMOS family and always God. Please look to him when you despair, He will carry you through this journey. We will be here when you need someone to talk to. Keep picturing yourself on the other side of this surgery losing. You will get there! Please feel free to email when you need someone to talk to. I haven't had my surgery yet, but I know I will and life will be great. Here's a great big hug for you. Please don't despair.

Sally, I read your post on the message board and I had to cry with you. I know exactly how you feel. My weight keeps me from doing many family things. For one, I don't have anything that fits me good, I hurt all over, and I am just plain ashamed of myself. Our day is coming when we can have this surgery and start on the road to being "normal". I love you Sally, keep you head high and your faith in the Lord.

Dear Sally, I have read your posts often, and in you I can see me. I am 5'8 and 478 pounds. I am scared of the world at times. I am tired of being looked at like I am something that belongs in a circus freak show. I hate going out to restaurants because I fear that where we go there will be no seats without arms. Or the dreaded booth. I know that my husband loves me but I worry about how he feels when he is out with me. He says that he has no problem being seen with me, I want to believe him, but what must go through his mind. I pray to God that I get this surgery, and yes like you I am scared to death of it. I worry now that I may not make it to surgery, but from the posts of everyone here, I know that fear can be made into a strong determination to get to the other side. I see you taking those steps and I am so proud of you. I know that it is hard, but you will get there. God has a plan for you and that is why you are here. You inspire me with your honesty and caring that that come to me from the depths of your words. I hope that you save what you write, I think that your words might become an inspiration one day down the road for others like us who might be scared of the unknown. You are blessed with the gift of writing. I hope that you know that we all admire you and are in your corner 100%. God Bless!

Dear Sweet Sally~~~~~~~~~So many of us here feel your pain, I wish we could take it from you. I am soo happy the wheels are moving forward towards your WLS. When you write sometimes I feel you are in my body and heart. Being MO is so devastaiting and NO ONE can feel our pain unless they have been her. You have a very special place in my heart. I think your dear departed Auntie meant to have the surgery for your Mom, that is what I kept thinking as I was reading. I do not think it was about the wedding. Just my opinion. I wish you all the best, God bless. PEACE
