Hi Linda, I'd say don't be nervous but, heck, I was nervous. Of course it was all for nothing (except I burned a few extra calories) because my surgery went just fine. For me, the week before surgery was harder than the week after. Pesky nerves. Anyway, remember to keep it positive. That includes having only positive people around you. The negative ones are just ill informed and will drive you nuts. I hope all your health and weight-loss dreams come true,

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.

Mom, I am praying for you and encourage you to let God keep you in the cleft of the Rock. Give him all your fears, because He is faithful and has already chosen to take all your burden upon Himself, to hide you under his wing. I know it sounds trite, but these are some program tools that have helped me..."One day at a time", or one hour at a time, or one minute at a time...(whatever you need). Let Go and let God. You're worth it! You are in our prayers, and we love you very much! Love Michelle, Rick, Blake, Brett, and Bryce

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. --- Congratulations on your surgery date and 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!!! Good luck and God Bless!!!
