Deborah *hugs and comfort* I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to post to your thread before you left this morning, I'm sorry you were so very overwrought with emotions but I would expect it's pretty normal when you have so many lives revolving around you. Please take comfort in our prayers that are surrounding you today, our thoughts and hopes for a quick, flawless surgery, a quick, gentle recovery and a smooth transition back to your room and on to the healing side of your journey. There's nothing 'easy' about what you are doing, but I know you are doing it for the right reasons and your faith will carry you through. You are in His hands and may he carry you safely through until you are back with us. I look forward to hearing from you very soon, we'll all be thinking of you and praying for you until you are back safely in the fold. *more hugs and comfort* Tammy

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!!

<b>Congratulations on taking this huge step in your journey and becoming an official member of the "fellowship of the switch."</b> We hope that your surgery and recovery are swift, smooth, and uneventful. It is an interesting experience and certainly not "the easy way out" of being unhealthy and obese but each day will get a little better and be further proof that you dared to dream and had the courage to act. Good luck and God bless!
