HI Lauren! COngratulations on your upcoming surgery! This is the beginning of your new life and I promise, you will have no regrets. Dr. Drinkwater and his team are the best and you are in the hands of a saint. The first few days are tough, but stay strong. Take your pain medications and don't hesitate to tell the nurses if you need more. They are wonderful in the ICU and Floor 3. Hopefully you will have Bonnie. She is a doll. Then again they all are! Seriously....what a good group they are. I am so happy for you! Hugs!

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/133 I’M AT GOAL!!!
