Hi Terri "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give, and the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live. Thinking of you as you take this step towards a happier healthier life . *Hugs*

I met Dr. Fabito for the first time today and I love him...he was so funny. I spent more time laughing than anything. He showed us a slide show with a general history of wls, possible complications,and we found out that he has been performing wls since 1976 and has done about 2000 with only 8 deaths. That is WAY better than the national average. He even slipped in a few slides from his trip to the Philippines...some young Philippino ladies dancing (nothing inappropriate) and we all roared. I dont think he remembered it was in there. I told him that I selected him based on the info from AMOS and that everyone had good things to say about him. He commented 'except that I am hard to understand'...I had no problem. I was nervous about the surgery until I met him. By the way, if you ever meet him, bring him an apple and tell him...you heard that he thought they tasted better than pears...maybe he will tell you about his apple-pear comment...when he is done cracking-up!!!! By the way, as of October 1, there will be NO more wls at SouthPoint Hospital. Dr. Fabito will be operating only at St. Alexis Hospital which is 1 1/2 blocks away. New Start will stay at SPoint for now and just commute over to the new hospital. It is newer with state of the art equipment. So I will have pre-ops at Sp and wls at St. Alexis... Terri 10/15/02
