In all things Remember,that the one above loves you,that He holds us all in his loving arms,He knows each of us by name.He said anything you ask for in "my name" will be given to you.So in His name I pray for you,that you be given strength, endurance,love,peace and most of all long life.In Jesus' name. When you wake up and see the faces of your loved ones in the recovery room,know that you have made it.Thank Him,Know that you have been blessed to see and to live out the rest of your days with the ones you love and the ones who love you.....Knowing that He loves you too. Happy soon to be ReBirthday.

Congratulations on your surgery! The next year is going to be the most amazing of your life. I just want to let you know that here in the beginning is the toughest part. You will feel better than normal soon! These first few weeks and the surgery will only be a memory and you will be on to your new life. I am 13 months post op and I have lost nearly 130 pounds. I went from a size 24 to a 4 in a little over 6 months. Miracles do and will happen for you. I have tried to keep a profile that can be used as a resource. That answers all of the questions that I had when I was in your shoes. And links to various places to do more of your own research. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to that understands please feel free to email me. Here is a link to my profile. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=A1008255446&NoStatic=1

Here are some humble words of advise before your surgery!! Try not to gain too much weight before surgery Make sure you buy everything you need for post op ... foods ect, having it all at the house makes it easier to manage after surgery for everyone... Peace of mind knowing you have what you need i am a popsicle junkie now.... they are amazing Your tastes will change... I hate to eat right now ... so My best advise is to enjoy everything you put in your mouth now ... there is a grieving process after surgery when all you are eating is liquids... YOU wish you could eat, you crave, foods ... want something crunchy ... yummier ... not sloshy! Buy something roomy and comfortable to wear.... I have worm my nightgown for 5 days.... I wash it every other day and put it back on.... its comforting and feels good You wont have a lot of energy after surgery ... make sure you have a good support system in place. People to pamper you.... Your body will hurt Not just where your incision is ... but other places too, the anesthesia makes things inside you uncomfortable... They pump a lot of gas into your abdomen... Find someone who g
