Dovie...remember God is on your side and so are we! I'm pre op and don't even have my date yet, however, I am scared to death of surgery, complications...etc. I don't know what to do? I come to work every day with red eyes because I read until 1 AM or 2 AM. I am trying to read everything there is to read on the subject so that I can make a GOOD decision. Good luck. mk

Dovie, I know EXACTLY what you are going through. I am doing my psych eval tomorrow and dietician appt. on the 5th. Then my pre-op appt. is on the 14th. The Dr's office said that my surgery will be the first Tuesday or Thursday after that. I've wanted this for so long, I can't believe I started this whole process last summer. I battled with my insurance company and still have ended up self-pay. I feel like I have wasted so much time. I am so grateful to God, though, that we have found a way to pay for this. I read daily of peoples' desperation to find a way to pay and I feel hurt right along with them. One thing that I have found to calm my nerves is looking at clothes. I know it seems crazy, but I have never actually been thin, and the thought of wearing ANYTHING in a normal size is like a dream! Good luck and God bless. I will be praying for you nerves. Annmarie

Dovie, Want you to know that you are lovingly being thought of tonight. Asking God to bless you with His comfort, and to lift your spirits even as you read this. You are SO precious to Him. I like Jeremiah 29:11...For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You hang in there!

I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS ON THE PPL THAT DON'T HOLD THE DOOR FOR U ...BECAUSE I DON'T LOOK LIKE A MOVIE STAR.. AND THESE THAT WHEN U GO IN THE STEAK HOUSE THEY THINK, "MY WORDS, WHY IS SHE IN HERE, SHE IS BIG ENOUGH"... WELL THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW BAD IT HURTS ME...NOT THAT THEY WOULD CARE...I HAVE BECOME SO AWARE OF ALL THE THINGS IN MY LIFE I HAVE WATCH OUT FOR, MY SWIM SUITE TOO SMALL, MY DRESSES TO SMALL, AND I CAN'T GO TO CHURCH LIKE I WANT TO...I HAVE A NEW EXPLORER AND "I CAN HARDLY FIT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL" WHAT A LIFE....SOME TIMES I JUST WANT TO DIE... WALK A SHORT DISTANCE AND BE OUT OF BREATHE.. DROPING SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR AND HOPING SOMEONE WILL BE SO KIND AS TO PICK IT UP FOR U...CAN'T GET A M.R.I. BECAUSE THE MICHINE HAS A WEIGHT LIMIT ON IT... GOING TO THE DR.OFFICE AND SIT IN THE CHAIRS, AND NOT BE ABLE TO FIT IN THEM... GOING TO VISIT A SISTER AND HER INFORM U THAT SHE PAID A LOT FOR THAT CHAIR SO BE CAREFUL SETTING ON IT, AND NOT HURT (BREAK) IT ...NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO LADIES' RETREAT BECAUSE U CAN'T WALK A LONG DISTANCES... HAVE THE NEIGHBOR SAY TO U WHEN U COME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH UR NEW BABY "OH, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW U WAS PREGANAT"... AND THE FIRST THING PPL LOOK AT WHEN I COME IN THE ROOM IS MY FAT STOMACH... DOESN'T ALL THESE THING MAKE U WANT TO SCREAM "I AM A HUMAN TOO , I HAVE FEELING THE SAME AS U" I DO ... AND WHEN I HAVE ALL MY WEIGHT OFF, I AM GOING TO HELP THOSE THAT R OBESIT AND MAKE THEM KNOW THAT THEY R LOVED AND R SPECIAL PPL TOO, GOD BLESS U ALL... LOVEDOVE
