I've waiting for this moment for so long....not so patiently I might add and now it's here. I have no fears as I am not alone, He walks with me. I feel informed, aware and supported to the fullest therefore my mind is made up.

I choose to make the rest of my life, the best of my life!!! I can't wait to tell my success story...

Keewee, I'm offering up prayers for you. May God see you through a successful and pain free surgery. He will heal you. Have patience and you will be both happy and successful.

Best wishes, & I'll see you on the losers' bench. Follow your doctor's guidelines, be patient & you will do well. Here's to another future success story.

Wishing you a speedy recovery after surgery. Be patient with different eating stages ..by 6 weeks I was eating regular foods. Keep us posted on your progress.

You got this! I can't wait to hear your successes! Prayers going up for you!

Best of luck, your going to do great.

Thanks so much everyone. I faced a lot of adversity today. I was just so excited I told a few coworkers on the way out the door, last time I did that, I got a heap of negativity and being new to the idea, it kinda brought me down but months later and 1000's of posts later, I feel 100% confident and today's negativity never changed my smile.

I'm nervous, not afraid and I will be successful even tho I know the possible complications. Thanks for your prayers...i'm going to attempt some kinda sleep...lol, Gn.

Congratulations on the start of your journey. My prayers are with you!

On the way I go...arrival by 530, procedure at 730. I can't believe this is happening...I've been given a second chance and I'm older and wiser...it's time to prove it NOW!
