6/13 I did break down and ask my ex to assist me on my surgery date. He was generous and considerate, and as our divorce has been amicable, I am grateful that he and I can still look out for one another. I am getting some jeously feedback from one of my friends. She isn't heavy, but I think she resents me having these resources available. By this time next year I should be another Carney Wilson (Go Girl!!!!). I think that she is afraid that I may be more attractive - who knows. I did speak to her about it...but she assures me that this isn't the case. We will see. We big people tend to have big hearts to match....the size of my caring will not change as I shrink into normal size (good grief!!! normal...... I've always thought of myself as Abbey Normal.... lol!!!!) We are creating a bariatric program at the hospital that employs me. I will be the voice for the program as we expand out into the community. I can't wait! I am concerned, though. If you come out of your shell when you lose weight, then I may have to take medication!!!! I'm already outgoing and my friends are concerned that I'll be bouncing off the walls and will need tranquilizers to keep me normal. (Big Grin!) To all that wrote me wonderful notes of support, I thank you. I'm going into this with your love and prayers which makes me feel warm and safe. I'll use your kind words to keep me calm the morning of my sugery. I'll post on Monday evening to let everyone know how it is going.

6/10 - forgot to mention that I went to my preop appointment with the surgery department. I am having trouble rounding up my friends to get me to the hospital and back home again. Its just that we all work and as I am separated, asking my ex-husband to fill in doesn't make me comfortable.

6/10 I have beens so busy at work trying to get everything under control before I have my surgery. Last week I had a bad case of the jitters. Couldn't focus on one thing at a time. But now I am doing fine. Sometimes its just handling the details and getting everthing organized that will give you the peace of mind that is need.
