<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. (unknown author) FROM MY HEART TO YOU~*~Hugs~*~</b>

Congratulations to my dear new friend, Tarah. It was a long wait, but you finally made it. It's the beginning of a new life--one that I am sure will make you happy. Thank you for going first and making my path so much easier. Three weeks and six days and I'll be joining you on the losing side. I keep thinking about our future shopping sprees in the small sizes and how glad I am that we will be able to share the excitement because no one else will know our secret. What fun we will have, the new and improved us!

Tarah's surgery went great. Her lap RNY took only 3-1/2 hours and she came through it beautifully. I talked to her today and she sounded fine. She told me it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be (of course she had to tell me that since my surgery is exactly 4 weeks after hers). But I really do believe she is doing very well and will probably be discharged tomorrow. Congratulations Tarah!!

Tarah, At this point being scared or nervous is perfectly normal. We all are. The thing I really found ironic for me and for others as well is that we fear the complications of surgery, what might happen, but while we sit there day to day MO.. do we ever truly fear the complications or even what we KNOW WILL happen if we stay that way. It¡¦s funny how the brain works. You KNOW as a MO person you will or have gotten high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and a host of other complications, but when we think about it, do we really fear that as much as the small possibility of surgical complications? We KNOW that as a MO person our likelihood of premature death due to the MO is almost a guarantee but yet, we fear to the point of losing sleep that we will be the one of the small percentage that will die from the surgery. Did you lose sleep worrying about dying before the idea of surgery came about? I know for me I rarely did, even though I knew it was a strong possibility. During my time preop when I was going through my terror stage.. ¡§oh my goodness what am I DOING to myself???¡¨ I tried to always think back to what drove me to the decision to have surgery. During the first 4 weeks post op when I felt like S**T I went back to the same thing.. This really helped me. I knew things had to change and would change, whether or not I chose surgery. Either they would change with surgery for the better or without it for the worse, but I accepted that life as I knew it would change either way. So my decision was to change it on MY terms, for the better. Here I am now, nearly 8 months post op, minus 110 lbs. and a new person! I can move, live and feel healthy now! My risk of death due to MO is gone, I have no more high blood pressure, pre diabetes, asthma, sore muscles (except from the occasional over work out in the gym ƒº ), sleep apnea, or stress incontinence. I can play with my kids, I can shop in a normal store for clothes, climb a flight of steps, and I no longer feel like when I walk into a room, store, meeting, or my kids school, that I am the center of attention due to my sever morbid obesity. Mentally I am so much happier, I don¡¦t stress over food, I don¡¦t stress about my weight, I no longer wake up in the morning thinking about how I will fail at yet another diet, or how I am going to get through another day. I have energy, happiness and a future again. That is what this decision for surgery and the surgery itself did for me. I pray it will do the same for you. I pray you will have a uncomplicated procedure and a quick, pain free recovery. May all your goals and dreams come true! Please feel free to e-mail me any time for support or questions.
