JULIE~~~~May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days. Finding ways for your wishes and dreams to come true. Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun. Giving you the strength of serenity as your guide. May you always have love and comfort and courage.~

Thank you so much for your poem. It really says it all. God Bless you for that needed advice. We all need to watch out for the problems we can cause to ourselves. Not knowing that we are making a mountian out of a molehill sometimes, I know I am guilty of that too much in my life. I hope you have a Great journey on lifes highway. God Bless you all on your own personal journeys. You deserve it.

Hi Julie. I am a single mother of a 4 year old girl. I had no regrets and only a little bit of fear about undergoing this surgery. I weighed 325 the morning of my surgery. I knew that I was slowly dying and that this surgery was my LAST chance. I knew that the Lord would bring me through so I could watch my daughter grow up. But this is a decision that only YOU can make and I pray that whatever decision you make about WLS brings you peace. Have a blessed day.

Hi Julie, I know where you're coming from. I have 3 boys myself (15, 8, and 3) But if you've ever looked at the memorial page, most of the deaths come from people much heavier than you or me. I'm currently 275. They are usually people who can't get up and move after surgery, and succumb to pulmanary embollism.sp? Some have heart attacks. Very few are due to anything directly connected to the type of surgery. It's just surgery in general. If you're confident in your surgeon, and you're otherwise healthy, I really think you don't need to worry. You look young. That's a big plus. My surgery date is May 23. Those things enter my mind, but I dismiss them. I know that if I continue on the path I'm on, I'll be one of the super morbid obese people and then it WILL be more dangerous to have the surgery. Only you can make that decision, but my friend who had it done last May has lost 130 lbs. and she is so happy. She weighed 291 when she started her journey. She had LAP RNY. I'm having open RNY. Sorry this is so long, but you sounded so sad. I hope this helps.
