Butterflys are a great symbol of WLS patients. Like the caterpillar, we move slowly. We are not particularly attractive - and most of us are a bit round. Soon, we enter the cocoon stage, where we hide from everyone and everything, and EAT and SLEEP. Then, when the time is right, we emerge from the cocoon, spread our wings, and when they are dry, we fly off, seeking summer flowers. I love the analogy, and can't think of a thing that is better. So, first the butterflies in your stomach, and in your thoughts - pretty soon, you will have them in your heart, and you will be so proud of yourself, and feeling darn good, too!" Best of luck. Don't forget to wiggle your new wings. :) May God Bless You and Yours. ~ Michelle Lap RNY 10/06/03

DENISE~~ SORRY TO HEAR YOUR SURGERY WAS CANCELLED~~"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you." NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

Denise....So sorry about cancellation/insurance thing. Hope you can reschedule soon. Keep us posted. God bless. Jamie

I am Denise's best friend, and I feel very badly for her because her surgery was cancelled last minute due to insurance problems. I only hope she can get this problem taken care of ASAP. They actually gave her a surgery time Friday morning and then called her back to give her the bad news....let's show her our support!!!!!
