I could not believe my ears today when I received a call from BTC asking me if I wanted to make my surgery for September 6 instead of September 9. The woman who called asked "Would you like to come in September 6 instead of 9?" I was like <H>"YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"</H> Heck I didn't even care what my boss was gonna say. She told me that my pre-ops are still scheduled for September 3rd. That was fine. The less time at work I have left, the better. So she set me up and said she'll call me later with the time. She hasn't called back, but that's fine. I still have a week left. OMG I can't believe I'm saying that. I know I still have to jump over the "pre-op testing hurdle" but today it finally hit me and I just sat there and cried. I have only a week left. My heart is beating so fast and I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about it. I am so happy that they made it 3 days sooner. But at the same time, I kept thinking to myself "what if I am one of the few that don't make it?" I am scared to death of what might happen, but I am even more scared of being the way I am now. I thank God for making it possible for me. I have faught for this for 2 years. And now it's almost here. <B>6 DAYS AND A WAKE UP!!!!</B> No matter what my fears, I will go through with it.Thanks to you guys for making this part of my journey much easier.(((HUGS TO ALL)))

Hi Samar "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself. ~ Carolyn Warner It's never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Eliot May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days. Have a safe journey to the other side and a speedy recovery Angela in Canada Post-op 432 BMI 67.7 -47lbs Dr Michael Grace Open RNY Life began May 16, 2002 I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears.

Samar – I wish I was there to give you a (((BIG HUG))) in person. Your post sounded so sad and I hope that you will try to stay focused on the big picture – getting past your surgery date. In a PERFECT world, your mother and sister would be your biggest cheerleaders. Unfortunately we live in the REAL world – but the good news is that your AMOS family is here and ready to get you through the remaining days. I would like to suggest that you try talking to them – during a quiet- calm moment – and explaining to them how they have been making you feel. Your feelings are valid! Don’t let anyone tell you that you “shouldn’t” feel a certain way! Maybe if they realize how sad your strained relationship is making you feel they will try harder to be kinder. Even if they don’t come to their senses - just come here to the message board to vent and let us help you get through – to the losing side. After your surgery, your mom and sister (and their bad attitudes) will still be there, but hopefully they will realize you need their physical help and step up to the plate. Hang in there, sweetie! Just remember, “this too shall pass!” I’ll be praying for you and your family and watching for your posts.
