Thank you for your kind words and well wishes! I am a bundle of nerves and a family of butterflies have set up camp in my stomach. I just keep wishing it were this time next week so I would be back home again. I hear the pain for this procedure is excruciating, and it didn't start bothering me until last night. But, it will all be worth it in the end. See you on the losing side!

Karen, thank you for the cyber hug..here is one back!--(((KAREN))). The best shoe advice I can give is to ALWAYS have a pair of RED high heels in your closet...giggle, even if you NEVER wear them; Just having them will make you feel naughty...*wink!

Honey, Honey,Honey...C'mere..waz a'matter? LOL! I know when we have the weight of the world on our shoulders one does tend to be a bit HYPERSENSITIVE, but, your feelings are YOUR feelings and they SHOULD be validated. I have posted to you and to Joann LaPorta ( only not as an update coz it was too long..lol) because if eighter one of you feels the need to leave this MB then we as your siblings are NOT doing a good job of supporting you through the not so good times. <P><P>Yes, this board CAN feel a little excluding at time, and I'm sure that in another time and place you wouldn't even worry about it, but you have a great deal on your plate right now and it took much bravary to share that part of your life with us. <P><P>I am guilty of NOT posting because in your picture you seem so happy and together that I just say.."oh, well..she doesn't need me"..Iknow that I'm just being guilty of the same thing other people think about me, coz usually I'm such a giddy person and not much gets me down...A LOT GETS ME ANGRY...but not down..lol.<P><P>So, here's a cyber hug for you, and you all can come out of your rooms if you promise to play nice...*giggle!

Karen, thanks so much for your kind message. I'm not as nervous as I thought I would be. I have the best surgeon there is, our Lord Jesus Christ. I have faith that He will guide Dr. Denning's hands and be with me though the whole surgery. I do appreciate everyone's prayers, though. Never can have enough of those! :) Take care and God bless.

Thank you for your encouraging words prior to my surgery last month. My recovery is going quite well. Congrats on your success! I'm praying your current hardships will quickly turn into new blessings.

You dont have to belong to any group on this site, to be a vital part and well loved. Karen you do an outstanding job around here- dont for one minute think you are not appreciated...I hope a new job comes thru for your husband. Also depression can be chemical, not related to surgery- if your seratonin levels are low, losing weight will not improve that and there is no shame in using meds for that extra boost! God Bless
