Thanks to all of you for the support and encouragement. It's the weekend prior to surgery and I am all ready. Got my house all cleaned and went grocery shopping yesterday. Bought all the goodies I need when I come home from the hospital and, oh yeah, some food for the rest of my family. I was pretty nervous the last couple of days, but today I am fine. Haven't ate much this week, think it's cause I'm so anxious and I had so much I wanted to get done prior to surgery. I have a few more things to pack to take with me Monday and then I'll be all ready. It's been a long time coming, I didn't think this week would ever get here. I've battled my weight all my life, never knew what it was like to get slim and stay that way. I saw 125 lbs once, in my senior year of high school. My 25 year reunion is next year, so that was a long time ago. Now I can go to my reunion and feel good about myself, how nice that will be. I have a 15 year old daughter and I've been telling her that I have to go with her shopping because we have to agree on her clothes, because next summer we'll be sharing clothes. She just laughs at me. I don't thing she believes me, but I plan to be her size next June. She wasn't supportive of me having this surgery at first, she said she loves me just the way I am and that I'm not that big. I told her I know she loves me and that I'm not having this surgery to look better(but that's a huge bonus), rather, I am having this surgery so I will feel better. I am short and heavy and even though everyone says I don't look like I weight 200 lbs, let alone 225 lbs, I feel it. Carrying around all this extra weight puts a lot of wear and pain on a person's body. I know you all know that, though. Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers and keep me in mind on Tuesday. I'm sure I will come through with flying colors and be on my feet in no time. I'll update you again when I get home and am feeling up to being on the computer again. Take care everyone!!

Hello Pam~ To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits,that is the courage to succeed. Bernard Edmonds
