Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Dea Bobbe: Thanks for your sweet words of encouragement. I need that right now, especially with all the stress and craziness that is taunting me at present. God Bless-Greg Ferrett :-) Re: Greg Ferrett Scared? Do you know that the most dangerous part of your surgery (or any surgery) is the anesthesia? Yet that's the blessed part that allows you to " sleep " thru the process of changing your life. If you can attune yourself to relaxation techniques, and concentrate on the outcome rather than the procedure, that will help you in the coming weeks. Just think - you will immediately start becoming the person who is no longer noticed for his enormity when entering a room. You'll no longer have to pause between the car and the door to the mall. You won't have to be on the sidelines during a friendly ballgame among buddies. You will not be shopping in the tall and hefty department. Your blood pressure will stabilize. The fears of diabetes will be alleviated. Your knees will cease to be a problem. You'll be amazed that seats in theaters and on airplanes have seemed to " grow. " You'll catch a reflection in a store window, and pause to do a double-take when you realize it's YOU! Best of all, you'll learn to love yourself for the person you are. There's a certain resentment attached. People actually treat you different when you become of normal size. You know you're the same person you always were, but these folks see you completely different. You are no longer " invisible. " You take delight in a smile from a stranger, rather than thinking to yourself " why is that person grimacing at me? " Yup, Greg, it's a whole new ballgame out there... yours for the taking.
