Jill: Best of luck with your upcoming surgery! I'm sure you'll come through it fine. Dr. Grandia is great! Looking back, I didn't even remember much of my hospital stay. They do a very good job of pain management at Holzer's. Just remember that post-op you'll have some up days and some downers, but just take recovery a day at a time and when you're feeling low, come to the board and talk...we're here for you. It took me about 6 weeks post-op to feel "normal" again...surgery takes a lot out of you, take it slow and do what you can, but don't push yourself faster than your body will allow. My surgery was June 7th, 2004, and i've lost 90 lbs thus far. I am amazed every day at the amount of energy I have, and the things I can do now that I couldn't a few short months ago. I'll be praying for you! Faye

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 120 pounds– I’M AT GOAL!!!
