Robin, You will do GREAT!!! Enjoy this Christmas with all the treats and cookies, etc...because next year you will not want them, and you will be down at least 100 #'s!!! God Bless you during and after surgery, and I pray a quick and speedy recovery and no complications. Its normal to be scared, but as God told me and I have shared with others, Feed Your Faith or Feed Your Fear. Fear cannot exist with Faith, so when Faith is in the house, Fear HAS to flee!! GOD BLESS!! YOU WILL DO GREAT!!! Love, Deb

Hi Robin, I have a mechanical heart valve (aortic), I've had 3 open heart surgeries in my life, since I was born with a heart defect this probably isn't surprising. The major problem I face is that I am on Coumadin, a blood thinner, and I have to watch my blood INR(How thick or thin it gets), so I will be put in the hospital 2 days before my surgery which is Monday. They have to get my blood regulated for surgery then I have to stay until my blood gets to a certain number. It can be a hassle at times, all the precautions, but I'm glad they are taking precautions, it makes me feel safer. I will also have to go on antibiotics to make sure the heart doesn't get any infections. I'm sure you will have to do the same. I feel very confident in the surgeons at MUSC and I'm sure they would'nt be taking any unnessary risk on your or me. I noticed in your site you mentioned how upset your family was about you taking this risk in trrying to lose weight. I thought my family would be upset and found that they were much more supportive than I thought. I was very much surprised. I hope all goes well for you and I'll keep you posted on how things go. Take care Linda
