Dear Kelly, We all that same feeling that our lifes are out of control! I too felt bad about leaving my kids.They love me fat or skinny. But it was something I needed to do for our future together! I am now 5 weeks post op feeling good and down 29 lbs! So hang in there and dont forget the reasons that you are having the surgery!

Kelly, Hello, Karen Burt from Daphne, ALABAMA I'm 46 M. 23YRSON, adopted 2 children 7 yrs ago now ages 12 and 13 and 2 foster children 13, and 13. We started over again.---I weighed 257 22 days ago and 22 lbs gone forever. I had got to the point no energy, did only what I HAD TO DO. No energy for anything- watching life go by. I had a complication from surgery and had to do a repair lap rny-- Now feeling wonderful, stomach healing, want to exercise------- do housework, cook, haven't cooked in 3 yrs except for special occasions. Ate out nightly. A new life in store for us- count this surgery as a blessing from God - I THINK IT IS. Quote scripture- hide it in your heart ex I CAN DO ALL THINGS THRU JESUS CHRIST WHICH STRENGHINGS ME. AND USE IN THE HOSPITAL TO DO. you will do great-- tell yourself that and THINK OF ALL THE FUN YA'LL WILL HAVE . BEST WISHES AND LIFTING YOU UP. HUGS, KAREN

Kelly, I too have some of the same feelings you do, but once I got my surgery date scheduled finally, a whole new feeling has come over me. It is one of contentment. I am happier than I have been in a long time, I know thing are going to work out fine. Yes there will be plenty of struggles, but I think of all the hoops I had to jump through to get this far. I was worried about writing letters to my family, but I know I'm going to be here after surgery, so why take that time, and added stress? Have faith in yourself and God, and you will be fine. I am going this morning for my pre-op testing, and will have my surgery on July 16th. After all, what could be worse than living with your co-morbidites for as long as you probably have. My body has toted around more than double my ideal weight for 15 to 20 years. Can't wait to see you on the other side. Lisa
