My prayers will be with you as you go through the surgery and recovery. May your strength be restored; your recovery be swift and your tender heart be renewed.
This is only the beginning of a wonderful treasure hunt. You ask me what is this great treasure? "Will it make me happy?" You ask. Oh, let me tell you it is something so wonderful and will be better than you have ever dreamed of. "What is it you ask?" It is the new healthier you. It will give you opportunities you have only dreamed of and ability to do things with loved one you have yearn for. I am so happy for you. Heal fast. Your new you is waiting for you.
Jodie, Lots of warm wishes, prayers, and positive thoughts are heading your way for an uneventful surgery, a quick, pain-free recovery, and lots of weight loss followed by a lifetime of good health! Soon you'll be a BIG LOSER.
