Congratulations on going to surgery soon and on being normal. That tying up loose ends feeling is totally normal - go with it! I'll say a little prayer for you as you journey to the "losing side". Take good care of yourself and best wishes for a speedy recovery. P.S. I love OPRAH normally but she can go jump in the lake over the diet vs. surgery thing. Sometimes I wish celebrities would stay off certain subjects as they don't realize what effect they have on others.

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.**hugs**</b>

Dear Shalonda, I am Linda. I live in Ohio and had open Rny surgery in Feb. so I know the process and the fears and apprehensions that go with it. I have lost 164 lbs in about 6 1/2 months and have never been happier in my life. I enjoy living so much more since I can get around and do more. I wanted to write and wish you the very best and to let you know I will be praying for you and have my prayer group to remember you also. If you have any questions I can answer, if you want to chat, if you need prayer, feel free to email me at any time. God bless, Linda
