Congratulations on your upcoming surgery and your new lifetime journey on the losing side. Right now you are probably on a rollercoaster emotionally - excited, nervous, scared.... This is normal - don't let it freak you out. Take the time over the next few days and 'center' yourself mentally - focus your mind on other things and keep yourself physically busy too. You will find that your big day will be here in no time and you will be calm and ready for it. We will be here ready to welcome you over to the losing side and support you in your journey. Good luck and hope everything goes well for you. Sarah G LapRNY 6/22/04 295/252/150

Hi Shannon, You must be getting so excited aobut getting in and getting on with starting your new life! I know I had to look for things to keep me busy for the last week or so. You will do great, Dr. Pohl is fantastic. You had written in your journal that you thought you'd be feeling well enough to make it to the October meeting, well, don't be too surprised if you will be going to the September meeting! The recovery time is really amazing, everyday is better and better! See you on the 19th, in the neantime, be WELL! Kristen

Good morning Shannon!!! Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 117 pounds– I’M IN THE CENTURY CLUB!!!

Hi Shannon, Thanks for your support. I'm still getting use to this message board. It's all a bit confusing to me but I plan on keeping in touch with everyone and hopefully I'll get the hang of things soon. Megan B

Hi Shannon, I know what you mean about the scales - I was sitting here thinking what a great idea you had! I wish you all the luck in the world. I am scheduled for surgery on August 24th at RIH. It's been more than a year since I started this process and believe me, it had been worth all the effort. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes I even believe that it's not a train. If you ever need someone to "talk" to, please don't hesitate to contact me. Jen
