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. --- 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!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!!

Hey Kay, Just stopping by to congratulate you on getting your surgery date. Wow, what a great B'day present! I know how excited you are and see from your profile we have a lot in common. My surgery was Jan 3rd (right before my B'day), and I'm 44. (WLS in 40's) I feel this has been a "God thing" for me too, and such a blessing! I'm doing great and wish I could've had this years ago~~I feel like I have my life back. Enough about me, I know that you will do GREAT TOO!!! You will be in my thoughts and prayers for an uneventful surgery and the speediest of recoveries. May you feel God's peace and love surround you during this time. If you'd ever like to share, just give me a 'holler', I always love hearing from everyone. Take Care & God Bless You~~~Lisa

Well, today is 2/21/06 and I had my first appt. with my bariatric doctor. It went very well and he spoke in detail with my husband and I. I have my appts. with for my psych. and nutr. in early March. My before pic. was taken and all other information put in the file including all the medical problems I have. Boy do I qualify!!! There is one hitch in this. My husband is an Air Force Surgical Nurse. Coming from a medical standpoint, he sees first all the risks of the surgery and what could happen to me. His comment was, "I dont want to lose you". I can sympathise with that and told him so but I also pointed out that with everything there is a risk. I could be killed driving down the road or with all the health issues I have, be dead in less than ten years of heart problems or stroke. I said to him,"which one of the two are you willing to bet on, the surgery and my ultimate good health returning baring any complications or leaving me the way I am and in this physical shape." He thought about it all the way home. He looked at me and said, "If you do not do this, you might live (or die) regretting it." I kissed him and told him thankyou. Am I nervous? Heck yah! But I am so beyond ready to do this. As soon as the doctor gets the results from those other two appts., they will call and set the date. I am hoping for Tues. March 28th. More posting to come.
