Hello Joanna. I just thought I would let you know that I will be praying for you and your family during this scary but wonderful life changing experience. I will pray that you have an uncomplicated surgery as painless as it gets and a speedy recovery. And Joanna don't worry about what that man said. I know how easy it is to get our feelings hurt and I know that some people don't have any tact about weight issues. Know that you have thousands of friends here who understand and support you. Don't let that one mad ruin your day,week ect. He is not even worth the energy it takes to get mad. My prayers are with you, Katrina

Mar. 1st I went for preop testing.I had know problems that needed to be adressed further.I talked with people that will soon be haveing surgery.Only one girl was haveing surgery the same day as me.She came with her daughter who was in her 20's.they both were very nice and had a good sense of humor.It made the day a little better.I hope we run in to eachother at the hospital.I only have a week to go.I feel like I can't get everything done with work and all.It feels like I'm going to prepare for a newborn,but the new born is me.After I recover from surgery I can shop at the mall with my 13 yr. old daughter.I can go to my sons football games and climb the bleechers without help from my husband.When my other son becomes a father one day,hopefully not in the near future,but some day I can keep up with my grandchildren.I'm scared about the surgery,but I'm gonna be strong for my family and myself,because I know I have to do something about my health.When I was at work yesterday a cleaning employee, whom didn't speak very good english, came up and started talking to me.He told me that I was fat and needed to not eat so much.I wanted to tell him off,but I almost started to cry so I walked away.I figured he didn't know me,and didn't deserve to.He didn't know about my surgery,and I wasn't about to tell him.I can't beleave how hurtful people can be.I am glad I can vent out my feelings on this site.Thank you for all your support,SEE YA ON THE OTHER SIDE.
