Shirley! I didn't even post on your profile for your surgery but I am here now. I'm so excited for you as you begin this exciting journey. I am so sorry I didn't warn you about the gas possibility. Praise the Lord I didn't have it but I have heard it is awful. I pray it is gone for you now. I want you to know that you and BJ were in my prayers all day long on the day of surgery along with my ladies at the pregnancy center. Aren't we blessed to have such a Savior? Wow. Can't wait to hear an update from you and if I hadn't lost your phone number I would have already been bugging you. Love you girlfriend!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I wish you the best of luck and pray for a speedy recovery. Soon you will be on the losing side with the rest of us. Just remember, althought the first couple weeks after will be rough with the eating and all, it to shall pass, and it will all be worth every little detail to be on the losing side. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I hope all goes smooth for you next week.

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- Congratulations on your surgery date and may God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Good luck and God Bless!!!
