Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!
Wishing you the best on your upcoming surgery date. My wife and I both had RNY procedures in March of this year and are doing great. I very much remember the anxiety leading up to my surgery, and wanted to wish you the best.
I don't think you know us, but we're also from Mesa, but moved just south of Tucson 2 yrs ago for a job.
