Hi, Dare: Good luck tomorrow. I am going in the same day as you and I know we will both be fine and losers before we know it. If you are like me you are going through a full range of emotions but don't let any of them get you down. We both know the better quality of life this will bring us. God Bless and Good Luck.

Hi Dare! Big congratulations on your surgery date! I bet you are so excited! Just hang in there and try to be patient! Don’t worry if you are nervous, scared, excited or go through a thousand different emotions. This is all normal, so go with the flow! There’s really nothing you can do with all those feelings surfacing. You may start to doubt yourself and question your decision to have surgery. Just about everyone has had this happen to them. You’re making a decision to have a better quality of life and YOU deserve it!! That gut feeling or that little voice inside lets you know that you’re doing the right thing! Remember that we’re all family here and we’re ready to give you our support, lend an ear and not judge. You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! There are lots of us who have had surgery and are in your corner rooting for you!! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful, problem-free surgery and recovery. I’m so happy for you. Soon you will be on the other side and will join the ranks of the losers. Get ready for your life to change forever. Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Hugs to you today.

Hi Dare and Mike! It's not too long now! I'm so excited for you both. This is going to be a wonderful experience to share together. Just wanted to remind you all that we're getting a huge group together tonight in Statesville for dinner at Golden Corral. It's the perfect place to binge for your last supper. HA! There will be a mix of pre-ops and post-ops! Hope you all can come! Dare - good luck on Tuesday! I see that you and Mary Knowlin have your surgeries on the same day. Don't be surprised if I don't show up to visit! I'm good for doing that! Let me know if ya'll need anything. Lisa Engelkins lap rny 5/25/04 - 51 pounds

Hello Dare and Mike too!! Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. I think it is so great you two are doing this a week apart. I really think it will be easier on both of you!! I know you are in good hands. Dr. Fernandez and Susan are so great!! The whole hospital is too. I did not have 1 problem with anything regarding the hospital!! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you and Mike. I am only a phone call away. And just a few miles away too!!

Hi Dare, Thinking about you and your hubby. Your dates are almost here. I have surgery the day before Mike, 8/23, so we'll be recovering at the same time! I'm praying for your speedy recovery and your husband's also. Keep positive thinking going and remember that God will take of you. Lynne Cashion
