It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. ... Gal. 5 vs.............................. Freedom...freedom to move..freedom to do the things that we were not able to do for so long...freedom to live.................................. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Eph 3.16..................................... Power..now you have the power to be stregnthen yourself. Be empowered! go out and encourage those that need to be encourage. those who are thinking about wls... share you journey with others so that they too can become empowered and....................................... In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. .............................. Give praise to the heavenly Father that has watched over you!! He has kept you through these procedures and has kept you safe. He has enabled you to over come this issue of weight and will allow you to shine... shine line the light you are!!! and....................................... Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. Gal. 6 and.................... share the good news that has been shared with you.. tell everyone about your jounery...every detail share.... so that others will learn and be empowered... And finally give praises to the heavenly Father who kept you from all harm... He is a mighty Good God!!......................... Blessings..Thea

Thank you everyone for your words of kindness and support. I just can't beleive my surgery is now just three days away and my life will be all the better for it. Mental (for the most part) I am very ready. I get very excited when I get to thinking how much healthier, happier, lighter I will be in about 6 months. I just can't wait. My body on the other hand is getting very tired of carring around this extra weight. So I think it is more excited about lossing this weight more then I am mentally. :) All I know I enjoy coming to this website and reading about everyone you all have done a great job and I can't wait to join you all on the other side. AGAIN thank you for all the support and wonderful kind words.
