Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 89 pounds!!! Good luck!

I'M BACK . . . . Well, I'm only three days post-op, so I can't honestly say I would do it again . . . yet. But I know I will feel stronger each day. Knowing there are so many of you precious folks out there praying for me - a complete "stranger" - means a lot to me!! (For you pre-ops that might be reading this: START WALKING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Hi Sara, I'd say don't be nervous but, heck, I was. Of course it was for nothing since my surgery went flawlessly. I'd say for me the week before surgery was harder than the week after. Truly. I mainly remember being sore and having my back hurt more than anything else (go figure). All easily managed. Remember to keep it positive. That includes having only positive people around you. Keep your eyes on the future and I hope all your health and weight-loss dreams come true. Best wishes,
