I know you're nervous but I just wanted you to know I will be praying for your speedy recovery and uneventful surgery. You have beautiful kids and I know you will be excited about all the fun you can have with them that obesity seems to prevent. I remember trying to play twister with my son. With my big bottom it was easy to win, just knocked 'em all off if i just didn't have to stretch too far. haha. But I also remember those times when we would go to waterworld and I felt like I might embarass him in a bathing suit so I sat on the sidelines instead of joining in the fun. You won't have to go through this sweety thanks to this surgery and your determination to "fix it" while you and the kids are still young. I love your courage Liz. I am with you all the way and will be glad to welcome you to this bunch of losers. See ya the day after surgery.
