I have a date!!!!

Finally after all of this. They actually offered me one next week but I am already signed up to go to UT for BYU Women's Conf. So I will have my last hurray in UT and then come home and prepare for surgery. My date is May 10. That is my baby's 29th birthday. I hope to be out by Mother's Day. It will be an open RNY. I am so excited, scared and terribly nervous. I guess I could stand being fat, but I don't really want to be dead and fat. I guess I could just not have the surgery and be dead and fat soon anyway. Now who do you tell and what do you tell them? I am in the Relief Society Pres. and I have not told anyone. Only my husband and one other friend who is not a member of the church. I wonder if I should tell my Enrichment Leader because she will have to take the full lead for a short while. What do the rest of you think? I really don't want people knowing my business. I find this to be very personal choice and I sure don't want to hear it from some body who's friend's, Mothers, ex Sister in-law died from WLS. That is about the last thing I want to hear right now. I know there are some in our ward who feel that way because I have heard them talking about it. How did everyone else handle this in their ward? I am so excited I hope I can sleep tonight. Barbara
