Hello Lisa - <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 : )

Your big day is around the corner. I pray that your surgery is uneventful and your recovery is speedy. I also hope that you utilize all that you have learned pre op about WLS to ensure that you will be a success.<br><p>- No one is perfect all of the time, but if you are armed with your research and determination, your tool will work out the rest along with support, motivation, and follow through you will succeed and reach all goals. Good luck and God Bless.

I have an angle Stephanie Simmons, She is an angle.Thank you Stephanie, I am feeling pretty good, I wish it was over with but 4 more days. My boys are feeling a little scared I hope it passes. We are down playing what is going on and trying to make life as it all ways is. I went for my pre op Tuesday and found out I have a problem with my liver they will be taking a biopsy of it on Monday when I have surgery. Dr. Coirin said not to be worried we are geting it early. I am a little worried but now I would be having surgery for the biopsy so I am trying to thank of geting two things at one time. Until next time, May God Bless you all. Lisa
