I want you to know that you are in my thoughts. WLS isn't the easiest thing any of us have ever done, but I've learned the things in life that are worth the most usually aren't simple. There is a BRAND NEW LIFE waiting for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Please know that your research is about to pay off for you. Just pretend as they are wheeling you into the OR that you are off to see the wizard and you are Dorthy about to get a new and shiney life. Thanks for sharing your preop journey with all of us and now we are all ready to share part 2 with you. Best of luck and remember you are NOT there to meet good looking Dr's you are there for your health young lady!!!! Love Ya girl!

Samar don't be afraid things will be just fine!!! I've noticed people are comparing our surgery to what Brenda Scott had; there are no similarities at all. You are in good hands your dr. is the best so I hear. Most of the members of the warren support group had your dr. They gave him a standing ovation at the June meeting. You will pray that you have a speedy recovery, if I can help you in anyway please let me know. Just think soon you will be on the loosing side. God bless see you on the other side

Hi Samar, Please be gentle with yourself. You are embarking on a very wonderful journey that brings with it very real risks. But God will be with you, I am sure. I pray that your surgery and your recovery post-op is swift and uneventful. May you find your new life as you would wish it to be and may you love and enjoy it as much as you love and enjoy your daughter. God bless you. Robin

Samar: Please leave your worries behind, with all the support & prayers from your AMOS family along with your very competent Dr. the journey should be successful (and maybe a "ouch" here and there...). I live in Shelby Twp, MI so I know how the fear must have gripped you on hearing of Councilwoman Brenda Scott's sudden death from WLS which happened from supposedly the doctor piercing her stomach when the incision was made to put the lap band in. I will not let this incident stand in my way, we all know there is always a minimal risk. Can't wait to hear from you when you are on the board telling us "I'm on the Other Side".... God Bless, you will be in my thoughts and prayers....Carolyn H.

Samar, Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength.Find your strength, you have fought long and hard to be here. Have faith that you will be one of the thousands that have this surgery and are just fine. Friday you will be a happy post op. Try to compare in your mind what WILL happen if you stay MO to what MAY (but most likely won't) happen if you have surgery. Be at peace, trust God and all will be fine. Tami

The day after tomorrow at this time, I'll be on my way to the hospital for surgery. I have been crying uncontrollably for the last 2 days. I thought that this would be the happiest time of my life. All my fears have shifted from not being approved and something happening to stop me from having this and now, that it's here, I am so scared to death. I have visions of things happening to me and I can't stop thinking about my daughter. She is worried that if something happens to me(GOD FORBID)that her so called father that abandoned her since I was still pregnant with her, will try to take her away from my family. This is my biggest fear. I have not prepared enough for this. I didn't think that this would be my fear. I don't want my family to see me crying because then they start to cry and start telling me that I still have a chance to back out. You know that's the funny thing. As scared I am of this, I am more scared not to have it but why? After hearing of the death of the Detroit City council woman, I became more afraid. I can't stop with the "what if's." Is anybody who is so close to surgery going through this too? I am sorry for always having depressing posts, but like I said before, and I'll say it again, you guys are my rock. God bless you all.
