This is so exciting, I can see it in your voice! It makes me excited, too. Sometimes deciding on which surgery is the best for you is a struggle, congratulations on making your decision. I'm looking forward to hearing when your new birthday will be!
Great last words, thanks.
peace & hugs, elaine
on to your destination.
I'd say let's celebrate and go out to eat, but I guess I need to get over that. lol Yes, I am very excited. It seems like I've reached a mile stone. The end of the process is in sight and the reality of the surgery is at hand. Ohhhhh gooooodie!!!! Crazy to be excited about having a major surgery, but I am. Hugs to you my friend, Mary

Life is so exciting when you have wls.........so hard to comprehend just how nuts! But it is so worth every hoop you have had to jump and every moment of frustration that you have had to go through. I would redo every bit of it again if I had to....which I am so glad that I don't!
What an exciting time in your life and we are so glad that you can share it with us.......it keeps everything for us coming back in our mind again and we have to never forget where we came from......or we might go back there. I for one refuse to do that.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
I know my life is going to change in ways I never imagined. I may have some serious hoops to jump, but its better than not being alive to jump them. I have two grandchildren who hardly know me. I see them once a year for a few days. My goal, and fondest wish, is to be healthy enough to be a real grandmother who plays with the grandkids and can fly, now fitting into a seat, to visit more often.
I don't know what the future holds, but it seems like a lot of good things and I can't wait to get there.
Hugging you Brenda, and keeping you close in my heart and prayers for a safe surgery, Mary
