Aw, thanks Celeste. I'm starting to get nervous so I'll take all the hugs I can get! I got my approval letter yesterday and that made it more real. This is really happening! Thanks for taking the time to send me a note =o) Hope you have a great holiday.

Thanks Linda! It's getting exciting and a bit nervous around here. I've got just under three weeks to go and to be honest, I'm looking forward to it, even though I'll be in a bit of pain for a few days. That's nothing compared to the pain obesity causes every other day though, right? Thanks for taking the time to write, I appreciate it. Jenn

Cyndi, Thank you so much for your note. You picked the best day to write. I was having all sorts of thoughts today, since my surgery is one month from today. There's fear, excitement, wondering, hope, all wrapped up in this body that I want to shed, but the mind that knows that it's worth it in the end. I had hoped for someone to pray with me and for me, but my friends are not like that. They're great people and support me all the way but that was the one thing that was missing. Perhaps they are doing so, just in their own way. But, thank you for taking the time to reach out to a complete stranger and fill that gap. Thank you for including the prayer for my surgeon, it's not easy to put myself into someone else's hands like this and I too had prayed that God is with him and me during this. I've never "chosen" to have surgery, and that's the scary bit for me. I've had other surgeries, but they were for things like carpal tunnel or my gallbladder, never to alter my whole being. It's a big step, a big scary one, but I will take that step over the alternatives. I wish you continued success along your path. I am glad to read that you are feeling so great. I look forward to that bit the most I think. I was thinking this evening as I walked to my car that I am tired of being short of breath, I'm tired of my joints hurting, I'm just tired of being tired. I can't wait until all those things are gone. Thanks so much for giving me that boost and sharing your note with me. Take care and the best to you, Jenn
