9 Hours

Mar 24, 2010

Wow I can't  believe the day has arrived. I am 9 hours away from being in the OR... for the start of a new life.  The realization is starting to really hit me.  I had to come on and look at the before and after pictures to remind myself of the success that so many other people have had.   I am scared about the procedure but I also know that God is on my side.  I have such a great support group and so many friends and family that are praying for me.  I am so thankful to be so blessed and loved by so many.  At my high school graduation the speaker used the saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life".  My mother reminded me of this earlier.  I can't wait to start truly living!  For all those out there that have felt like your weight has been holding you back from living, I challenge you to make a change - to live a healthier life.  Whether it is diet and exercise or WLS.  You can do it!  Don't let another minute go by with out making that change!  We only get one life to live.... don't waste it.
