Hello, Jackie. It is my prayer that you will be well w/your upcoming surgery. I recently had surgery (May 14--lap band) and it was a success. All is well. I went to the doctor 1 wk out and I am down by 10 lbs already. That is encouraging for/to me.
It seems as if the waiting period is the longest to have a range of various emotions---excitement, nervousness, the "This is really happening" surreal feeling...But you are going to joining numerous others on the loser's bench. You know, Losers Are Winners here.
Be encouraged! Be motivated! Be inspired!
