Well I'm off to surgery!
Praying for you Joy. I know you will be fine. The pain is totally worth it. Think of the weight that you are going to loose. That is a good exchange right.....a little pain.....exchanged for loosing unwanted weight and getting healthy. You will be in my thoughts and prayers today. Ask God to remove the fear from you and replace it with total joy of the bright future that awaits you.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
