    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

    Hello Farrah, I just wanted to say congratulations on your weight loss surgery and welcome to the other side. As you start to lose the pounds you are going to feel so much better and your energy level will just grow. In just a few short months you’ll be able to do things you never thought possible. The little things will get so much easier, like tying your shoes. I know, I had RNY Gastric Bypass in August of 2004, and I’ve lost 130 lbs. Now the surgery and the change in lifestyle are not walks in the park. That’s why I go to support group meetings and belong to online WLS discussion groups like http://health.groups .yahoo.com/group/WLB SS/ . And I check out websites like Obesity Help and http://wlbss.com for support and information. WLBSS stands for Weight Loss Bariatric Surgery Support, and you should take advantage of all the support you can get. Get all your questions answered by experienced losers who are now winners. From the Girth, a Rising Phoenix, a Bariatric Butterfly, that soon will be you. Congrats and good luck. We’re all right behind you and with you as you start to change your life. Take Care, Bill Johnson-Miles

An update.
on January 9, 2008 10:50 am

Here I sit, bawling my f*cking eyes out.

Guess where I get to go on Thursday? The hospital. For a scope. Apparently, all my symptoms lead my doc to believe that my pouch is too small so they are going to look at it. Apparently this happens to 6% of RNY patients. We've already determined anything bad will happen to me.

And I'm freakin the f*ck out.

Time 5 going under in 7 months.

Yes, it's a different type of anesthesia but I don't care. It doesn't make me feel better. I've been shaking for over an hour and can't stop.

We used to think it was funny going to the hospital and seeing all the nurses and staff. Now, it's just not funny and scary. I'm on vacation. And seriously thinking of calling for a few weeks of disability.
