	*08/07/2003 11:41 AM* Lisa Hello and Congratulations on getting your approval and a surgery date!! Oct will be here before you know. Wishing you all the very best and may all your dreams come true. — Alice W.
	*04/16/2003 06:53 AM* Hi Lisa thanks so much for the encouraging email. I am a bit nervous about my upcoming surgery but I am more nervous dieing at an early age due to obesity. I also have 2 kids. They are 9 and 16. I have a wonderful husband who like your fiancee would like nothing better than for me to not to have this surgery. He is supporting me don't get me wrong but he is scared. I am now counting the days. I, like you have great confidence in Dr. Von Reuden. I liked everything about him. I have 2 friends who had surgery with Dr. Williams and they look and feel great. They love him too. I believe the choice for a surgeon is a personal one. I will post on my site as soon as I have some post op information. Bethann is supposed to come visit me in the hospital. Maybe my husband could e mail you with my condition and you could post it for me? Just an idea. Well thanks again and good luck to you. you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hallie — Hallie H.
	*04/05/2003 01:50 PM* Lisa, I read your post about the Phillies game, I too was there, I got there late and had to park MILES away, we were in section 247, row 1. I will tell you, this time last year, I probably would have turned around and gone hom b/c of the walking and the crowds or never even have gone at all b/c sitting in that tiny seat with my 300+ lbs would have been awful. Well, I am 7 1/2 mos post-op, down 107lbs and let me tell you, since i got there late and didn't want to miss the first pitch, I RAN, I JOGGED and I got there on time. Think of this surgery as that long walk/jog to Veterans Stadium or your seat in the 700 level, you will get there, it will take some time and it will be hard but, you will get there and it will be worth it. Just as it was seeing Jim Thome smack that triple during his first AB on Opening Day. Wasn't it great, good luck to you. Heather (Open RNY 8/15/02 305/198/150) — heathercross
	*03/08/2003 11:01 PM* Lisa - Thanks so much for the post on my page. I need to get over this nervous stage, it is very tiring. May God be with you during your surgery and postop. I will keep you in my prayers! — Dana M.
	*02/19/2003 01:41 PM* HI LISA I just want you to know that I am praying that everything will go smooth as you journey to the losing side. LORD BLESS — MommaAngel
