Hello Terri, I am from Davenport and we will be going to the "other side" on the same day!! I will be having surgery in Belvidere Ill @ the Bariatric Treatment center. I have a few jitters, but am mostly excited to start my way to a new healthy life!! It seems like I have so much to do prior to get things in order before I go, but no energy to do it. Just wait until next year! I hope you have a fast recovery. As a surgical nurse, I can only remphasize the importance of walking, coughing and deep breathing! Take care and God Bless! Jayne

Hi Terri "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself. ~ Carolyn Warner It's never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Eliot May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days. Have a safe journey to the other side and a speedy recovery Angela in Canada Post-op 432 BMI 67.7 -47lbs Dr Michael Grace Open RNY Life began May 16, 2002 I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears.
