Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 hi tracey, no matter what anyone tells you, you have to do what your heart says. I have 3 little ones and was planning my death before surgery. I wrote good bye letters and had made peace with myself and the Man up stairs. I asked him to watch over me and make me pull through this, that i have 3 little ones that need me. Well here i'am today 8 weeks post op to the day and I'am about 50 Lbs lighter. I go Monday to get weighed. Iam happy and yes sometimes i got sick and i cried. But here I'am. Not a problem went wrong with surgery. and not a problem will go wrong with yours. Nothing is perfect. !!!! This is the BEST thing I did for me in my life and you will feel the same way. Keep In touch GOOD LUCK Lap RNY 10/1/03 300/250/150 ???

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Tracey, I don't have one single regret. It was all worth it. I'm a bit older than you and my kids are older but I wanted to have the same things...to be able to play with them etc. I wish I could have done this at your age! I would have not put myself through so much hell these past 10 years! You have every right to be nervous. If you weren't there would be something wrong. The way that I got through that was to keep busy, spend time with my kids and hubby, and I wrote letters to each and every member of my family telling them how much I loved them, etc. I woke up the day of my surgery looking forward to living life and feeling great. You'll get through this sweetie.....hang in there. T.
