I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK on your surgery. Take a deep breath, try to relax. Know that we all care about you and are wishing you the best. Think positive, it really does help. After surgery, REMEMBER, turn, cough, take deep breaths, and walk to prevent complications. Hold your incision when you cough, it helps it hurt less. Keep your profile updated, it may make a difference in the live of someone else. Smile, keep your chin up! And lastly, if your chin does fall, just remember, from this position it is easier to moon people! :) (Also, humor helps too!)

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. ... Gal. 5 vs Freedom...freedom to move..freedom to do the things that we were not able to do for so long...freedom to live... 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Eph 3.16 Power..now you have the power to be stregnthen yourself. Be empowered! go out and encourage those that need to be encourage. those who are thinking about wls... share you journey with others so that they too can become empowered and...... 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Give praise to the heavenly Father that has watched over you!! He has kept you through these procedures and has kept you safe. He has enabled you to over come this issue of weight and will allow you to shine... shine line the light you are!!! and......... 6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. Gal. 6 and... share the good news that has been shared with you.. tell everyone about your jounery...every detail share.... so that others will learn and be empowered... And finally give praises to the heavenly Father who kept you from all harm... He is a mighty Good God!! Blessings..Thea

Hi Mary, I too am having Dr. Williams do my surgery. I am scheduled for 3/11. I am very anxious, excited and somewhat nervous. I have two sons, 11 and 17 years old and would like to be around for a long time to see them grow and have families of their own. I wish you the best with your surgery and recovery.
