TerriG
My name is Terri. I live in Pembroke, Massachusetts with my husband and two daughters (ages 4 and 7). I am scheduled for WLS on January 2nd with Dr. Lautz at BWH. I am VERY nervous about the surgery. I'm doing this so that I can get healthy and live a long life with my daughters (I'm only 38 years old).
My family is very close-knit and my father was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. His diagnosis gave me the push I needed to schedule my surgery. My father did everything he could to live a healthy life -- quit smoking, doesn't drink -- and yet this cruel disease that he can't control is going to take his life. That's when it hit me: I don't want to die because of something I could've controlled. What would that do to my daughters? Would they think that I loved food more than them?
I'm not a religious person, but would appreciate any prayers for me and my surgery.
