Kimberly, hi. I am pre-op, surgery next month on the 12th. I was looking up some stuff about nutrition, and saw a message from you, and started looking at your page. i cant even remember what the original message was. I do know though that you have accomplished what so many only dream about, and you're beautiful! I look at your picture, and I think, "I hope I can get that thin" and I think its too bad that you've had to suffer so much. I guess even after wt. loss, we are still fighting the same battles, we are the same person. Thats ok...at least we have alot of help. Remember how it was before surgery. I dream daily of losing even just some wt. I also decided it's just a dream that will never happen because Ive done all I can. I will always be this way, and that stinks! Well, not true any more, because of WLS. Anyway, I see what youve done, and had to go through, and I say "you go girl!!!" give em hell, and dont ever let anyone take away that dream, because you have paid the price! Look again at yourself, and be kind. You are beautiful, and I know after all, that if you weren't strong before, you must be now. Strong enough to take charge, and do whatever is needed, and be proud of what you've done. The dream is yours, forever. Dont forget it, always take care of it, and cherish it. You deserve it! most sincerely Judy ps Im so excited and nervous for surgery I cant stand it!!!

Dear Kimberly, I read your post tonight that you sent to slow loser. I liked what you said about using our tool like a normal person. I realized your words of wisdom early this morning. I was given an opportunity to take care of myself like a "normal" person and have to remember that. I am not much of a "dumper" so I have to learn how to listen to my body and respect my body before it screams DISCOMFORT! I had RNY April 2, 2003 and I have lost 81 pounds so far. I have not lost too many pounds the past 2 months but my inches are going, going somewhere.

Hi all, This is not the offical Angel but I do have news about Kim. I went to see her tonight after I got off work. She was still in ICU. Has the big fat drain in her side still and the leak is geting better. She was breathing better. Come to find out her lung was not actually collasped but it was squished(compressed) by all the fluid. Thank God that was not the case. For some very strange reason she has diareha(sp). The Doc doesn't know where it is comming from because she is not getting any food. They are tube feeding her but it is not going to her tummy. Any ideas? To you Kim....You are a sweetheart and I really hope you get your walking papers soon. Keep God in your heart. ~~~~(o/)~~~~Angel Hugs to you Girl.

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that you have had some complications. I'm sure that you will pull through this. It will just take you longer to get to the point where you can say "I'm glad I did this!" All of our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time!

Kim, I am so sorry to hear that you have had complications. I am praying for your speedy recovery under God-guided medical personnel. HIS eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches you! Linda
