7/29/03 Well, pre-admit is complete, and I saw my surgeon for the final time before the big day. It's a go!!!!!! Got to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. We will leave home around 3:30 a.m. to be there on time, so I won't sleep at all Monday night. Two of my children will be with me, my daughter-in-law and my sister will be there. So, thanks again everybody for the wonderful support and kind words. Good luck to everyone on the road to WLS. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Barbara, good luck with your surgery and I am praying that you have an uneventful surgery! Just think...a year from now how you will look and feel. That alone should let you know you are making the right decision! Hope is power...dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born. God Bless! Debbie

Thanks Everybody for the support and good wishes, thanks for everything!!!! Mentally I'm doing cartwheels, happy dances and all kinds of wacky celebratory PHYSICAL manuvers that have been beyond my ability for a lifetime. Outwardly the world sees this big dumb, happy grin that seems to steal across my face more each day as the countdown progresses. The only issue that bothers me is whether or not my date will be postponed when I see Dr. Smith this afternoon. Today is pre-admit and final doctor check day. Anyway, the cellulitis is hanging on in my right foot. It's almost 100% well, but.......then over the weekend a large cyst type bump developed on my back. Forgive me for being gross. My body is in rebellion! My daughter-in-law says it's the Devil throwing obstacles in my path, and I tend to agree. My daughter says "Someone" is trying to tell me that this isn't the best time to have the surgery, and I tend to agree. Whatever Dr. Smith decides this afternoon will be okay with me. At least all the preparatory work is complete. I only wanted to thank all of you for your kind words of support and encouragment. Instead I've gone on at length about other issues. We're a team and we're in this together. Thank God I found Obesity Help and all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've enlightened, educated, guided, and supported me the entire way. Thank you, one and all!!!!!
