Thanks for your words of encouragement as I embark on this journey. I really am scared. Very scared. I know I can make it through any complication, but I don't want to die over this. No one ever really wants to die, but I don't want this to do me in. I love life. I love life enough to risk it. Sounds funny I think. But I don't want obesity to take me away from my family. I hope that by taking this risk, I will live a longer, healthier life because of this surgery. Please pray for me, and pray that my nerves calm down a little. I really thank you for the sweet post on my page. Have great days! Your friend, Jenn R. Wisconsin
