I really new to this so, I posted some replys on here in the wrong order and I think I put them in the wrong spots, but I just want to thank you all for your well wishes and prayers....I'm starting to do the happy dance now...9 dyas left! Talk to you soon...on the losing side. Take care, Kori

Karen~ You will be fine. I will pray for you. Trust God to keep in His hands and all will be well. My verse I am using for my surgery is "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind"... I think it's perfect, and you can feel free to borrow it from me! lol.... not mine really, but you get the jist. I am going on the 31'st, right behind ya! I will pray for you tomorrow. WE are so blessed to have this option. Count is as a blessing and give thanks to God for all things. Peace and blessings tomorrow~ Michelle Brennan, NJ

Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery! Kim

I'm sorry you are so scared, but know that you are not the only one. I had my surgery on August 1st, and I cried the entire two hour drive to the hospital - seriously. I just could not believe I was doing this to myself. Now, almost 3 weeks out and down just shy of 30 pounds, I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. There are rough days - although I haven't been sick at all, I am struggling getting my protein in - can't find one I like! But I could never have imagined feeling so good so soon. I hope you decide to go through with it. It's very natural for you to be nervous - I would think there was something wrong if you weren't scared! It's an unknown for all of us until we go through it. But I can say that so far, I could not be happier that I made this decision.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is a big ball of nerves! This is going to be a trying week, I'm just hoping that I can stay as busy as possible to keep my mind off of not eating and to hopefully pass these next days quickly. This is it guys! Our day is coming up quickly. I will continue to keep everyone in my prayers!!
