Bless your heart. I know you must be terrified. I'm sure I will be too. I plan to put everything in God's hands and I know I'll be alright. Please, turn it over to God and there will be no need to worry. Just imagine how much more you'll be able to do with your children and how much longer you'll be able to be with them.

I hope everything goes well for you. I can am having my surgery on May 18. I am sure I will be just as scared the night before as you are. Just remember all the ones who have made it through and are living a better, healthier life now. You will be one of them after tomorrow. Best wishes to you and your family.

Michelle, I know you are very scared for you and your family right now. I have had these same thoughts over the past couple of weeks and I'm sure they will all come to a head the night before surgery! A couple of nights after my approval I was talking on the phone with my mother and I expressed the same feelings about my children that you have written. My mother asked me if she remembered what her faced looked like when she saw my first born for the first time?? I said I rememebered because I cried. I cried because it brought me so much pleasure to see my Mom SO happy and "I" gave that to her! Then my mother said that someday the same thing would happen to me! And thought for a couple of minutes.....I want to see my children grow, graduate, get careers, get married and see my grandchildren! This is the tool that will get me there! Yes the possiblity of death is there but I truly believe in my heart that I want this surgery for my kids JUST AS MUCH as I want it for myself! You are going to wake up tomorrow and start a whole new chapter in your life! I'm sure you have read the post op profiles here. These people are very inspiring! You have the courage Michelle! Take the step and the rest will be momentum....just imagine all of these wonderful people here holding your hands and taking every step with you! Take care....I'm yours if you need me.

Dear Michelle, I will be thinking of you and your beautiful family all day today. I also have two small children and know how heavily they're little faces can weigh on your heart. I have been crying for weeks, just hugging them brings me to tears. But I know that if I dont do this they will very definately have no mother in a few short years. This surgery is a CHANCE without it, how much of a chance do we really have. Just close your eyes tightly and concentrate on the future...I will pray for you...(((HUGE HUGS)) GINA RISO
