I found this Scripture just before I went to surgery and it has kept me strong and encouraged throughout the ordeal. I want to share it with you. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commaned you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. My prayers are always with you. LOve

Hi Renee, We share the same surgery date. I know you're filled with all kinds of mixed emotions just like me. Mostly, I'm just excited. I am constantly online in the support groups reading and looking for more information so that I can be as healthy as I can while going through the life changing experience. Best Wishes to you and see you on the other side! ;-) Bree

((Renee)), Some Angel I am huh? My flight from Heaven was a bit delayed! You know when the BIG MAN says wait, you don't question HIM! Anyway, late angel flying in to congratulate you on your surgery date! It'll be here so soon. I see that Aetna is trying to annoy you by asking for more info but you know THAT goes. Something or someone is always trying to block our blessings. You will triumph in the end and look back on all of this a a big time loser! You know that I love you dearly and praying for your approval and, a safe and uneventful surgery. Now where is our junior angel Angelene???!! ...With that name like she should have been here before me.......LOL

Hi Renee! Big congratulations on your surgery date! I bet you are so excited! Just hang in there and try to be patient! Don’t worry if you are nervous, scared, excited or go through a thousand different emotions. This is all normal, so go with the flow! There’s really nothing you can do with all those feelings surfacing. You may start to doubt yourself and question your decision to have surgery. Just about everyone has had this happen to them. You’re making a decision to have a better quality of life and YOU deserve it!! That gut feeling or that little voice inside lets you know that you’re doing the right thing! Remember that we’re all family here and we’re ready to give you our support, lend an ear and not judge. You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! There are lots of us who have had surgery and are in your corner rooting for you!! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful, problem-free surgery and recovery. I’m so happy for you. Soon you will be on the other side and will join the ranks of the losers. Get ready for your life to change forever. Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Hugs to you today. God bless, DI from NJ – Lap RNY, 12/09/03 -52 lbs ~In Loving Memory of Momma Angel~

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. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 109 pounds– I’M IN THE CENTURY CLUB!!!
