2 Weeks Away....

Jul 27, 2010

July 28, 2010 - Well, I am about 2 weeks away from my big day.  I'm trying to stay calm, and in the words of a good friend "surrender" to the decision I have made.  I am doing this because I believe it is the right decision, and my last hope, to regain my life, a life that has been driven by obesity and slow decay since I was in my teens.  I may not even know what a normal life feels like, without the burden of morbid obesity.  I am doing this specifically for my family, so that I can be there for them in the long term, and not live with the burden of knowing I could pass away at any time due to my weight.  I want to contribute to my family, my wife, my daughter.  In 2 weeks, I will be rolling the dice on my life, putting it into God's hands.  I pray that this decision does not take me away from my family from passing away.  Still, it is in God's hands, and I have many many people praying for me.  That is touching, and makes me feel like I am a person of some value to have my surgery and health on the minds of so many people.  Soon I will find out when my pre-op appointments are.
