Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)… RNY 10/31/03 – down 85 pounds!!! Good luck!

Hi denise, dont worry you will be fine, just go in with a positive attitude and when you wake up just breathe and stay calm and walk as soon as you can ok! If you need me e-mail me ok, I also live in Ocala and would love to get together and walk if you can, after the wls when we are healed enough ok! God bless you and carry you gently to the losing side,your w.l.s. sistah! Mary

Hi Denise: Your surgery is before mine and Mary. I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery and a safe journey to the other side. Mary and I are in Match, mine the 16th, her's the 22nd. We will all have new birthdates close to each other. Maybe you and Mary can walk together as well since you are in the same town. Mary and I go to the same Dr in Gainesville so we will be meeting this Thurday at a Support Group Meeting. Again, good luck, I wish you a safe journey.

Hi Denise, I'd say don't be nervous, but heck, I was! Of course it was all for nothing (except I probably burned a few more calories) because my surgery went fine. I always say the week before surgery was harder than the week after (it was for me anyway). Keep it positive and and that includes having ONLY supportive people around you. You've made a wonderful and couragous decision to improve your health (of course in retrospect it seems like a "no brainer" to me now). Be proud of yourself; take care of yourself and I hope all your health and weight-loss dreams come true...
