Hi Melissa, Best of luck on your upcoming surgery. Everything will work out fine and soon you will be on the losing side. And it's a wild ride from there! Best wishes for a complication-free surgery and a quick recovery. Kathy

Melissa, best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery date! You are going to do GREAT! I know how exciting this whole thing is, so I hope that you find a ton of ways to pass the time and make it go quicker for you! Before you know it you will be fading to la la land for the surgeon to work his magic :) I highly recommend you do something WONDERFUL for YOURSELF! We can all use a boost from time to time, and think of it as "pre-rewarding" yourself for the hard work you are about to do. I wish you a quick recovery and the best of luck in meeting your weight loss goals! CHEERS! TO A NEW MELISSA :) Melissa (the other one haha)

Hi Melissa! Big congratulations on your surgery date! I bet you are so excited! Just hang in there and try to be patient! Don’t worry if you are nervous, scared, excited or go through a thousand different emotions. This is all normal, so go with the flow! There’s really nothing you can do with all those feelings surfacing. You may start to doubt yourself and question your decision to have surgery. Just about everyone has had this happen to them. You’re making a decision to have a better quality of life and YOU deserve it!! That gut feeling or that little voice inside lets you know that you’re doing the right thing! Remember that we’re all family here and we’re ready to give you our support, lend an ear and not judge. You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! There are lots of us who have had surgery and are in your corner rooting for you!! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful, problem-free surgery and recovery. I’m so happy for you. Soon you will be on the other side and will join the ranks of the losers. Get ready for your life to change forever. Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Hugs to you today. God bless, DI from NJ – Lap RNY, 12/09/03 -52 lbs ~In Loving Memory of Momma Angel~

Dear Melissa, I am sooo happy you are almost there. May God wrap you in his arms and post an angel at your side during your surgery. May his love and his healing power stay with you during recovery.

3-13-04-- Hello again, I finally had my psych evaluation yesterday!!It got re-scheduled a couple of times..But I got it done..don't know how it went yet, I spent 3 hr's there doing a true or false question test, I talked with Beth, the Psychologist, for about 20 or 30 minutes when I first got there..I don't know how that went yet..I think pretty good, * crossing my fingers* lol, well now I like my nutrition class which is scheduled for the 18th,( of March ) And thats it! Hopefully after that, I will get a surgery date!! The waiting is the worse part I think so far..trying too get all the testing done!! But with a little luck I will be a loser soon! Will update more soon! Missy, VA
