Hello Romelia - <b>Congratulations, </b>your special day is almost here!  I suspect you are experiencing a range of emotions right now. The week before my surgery I was on a natural high, almost a euphoric state of mind. I couldn't believe I was getting that "second" chance ...to LIVE life again. (I started living life again, 9 months ago and have since lost a 150 pounds, only 50 more to goal!!)  I wish you all the success and happiness that comes with being healthier and thinner.   Just remember your overall attitude plays a large role in your recovery, keep it POSITIVE and ask lots and lots of questions.   This is a new learning experience for all of us that choose this path and we draw so much from each other.   There can be a few challenges along the way, but no worse then sitting on the sidelines - confined by our overweight shells.  You're about to break free, enjoy and embrace all the wonderful "moments" that come with this journey. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers for a successful and uneventful surgery.     <i>"To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally <u>unlike</u> your past. Your history is not your destiny." -- Alan Cohen </i>  .....Hugs and Smiles : )

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you a speedy recovery and a welcome to the losing side Romelia!!

"The light of God surrounds us, the love of God enfolds us, the power of God protects us and the presence of God watches over us. Wherever we are, God is. And all is well!" Think well and you shall be just that, WELL! In my prayers you will be. Good Luck on the Loosing side!
