Hi Liza, I’m so sorry to hear that your surgery plans have been delayed. I know that you’re very disappointed, hurt, angry, but you will have your day. Try to keep you thoughts positive. This poem is for you today: When life gets hard and seems too difficult to bear I wish you the love of family and friends who will show you that they care. When sadness darkens your day and clouds your eyes, I wish you the wisdom of family and friends to show that crosses can be blessings in disguise. While you work things out and wait for better times to start. I wish you the smiles of family and friends to lift your spirits and warm your heart. When you need someone to listen and help to see you through, my wish is that you think of me and know I’ll be there for you!! This delay is just a bump in the road and I know you’ll see this through. Keep searching for another doctor and try posting on your state message board. Good luck and keep your spirits high! Keeping you in my prayers! God bless! DI from NJ – Lap RNY, 12/09/03 -52 lbs
