Dear Jennifer, Tomorrow is the day for a new beginning for you. I know you are nervous and excited at the same time. If we can survive all of the stuff for insurance, all the letters that have to be written, and all the appointments to go thru pre-op, the surgery should be easy after all that is said and done. It will be smooth sailing from here on out, for me to have the surgery in less than 2 weeks, and you in a few hours. It really does help to reach out and think positively. I have made myself an inspirational tape and I have been going thru books like 2 or 3 a week. Please keep us updated about your surgery, and feel free to email me if you need to talk. God Bless and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Mary Western Conway, SC Pre-op 284 BMI 43 Surgery Date 7/8/02
