@Abrial was your family orginally Portuguese? Your very pretty name. might be from there or the Canary Islands, I always heard they were very skillful fisherman.

Actually Abrial is a user name I use and not my real one. My family is Irish and my real name is Latin (go figure). I have a crazy mom, that I love and is wonderfully supportive (as is my whole family and my husband’s too).

I got Abrial from an anime (Crest of Stars) and the first time I went to use it I could not get the correct spelling Abriel and used the French spelling. I have stayed with that spelling for years now. Thank you for the compliment though.

April 11th bypass

Abriel I am Irish enough my 2 sons names: Kevin,and Bryan .I have strawberry blonde hair, is it possible to be an overweight Celtic princess? Malones In my mother's side, Murphy in my father's but 1 extra generation farther back. I suspect that there is Native American in my paternal ancestry but they never admitted it. Do you have Wikipedia on your cell phone or computer? If so look,up Peoria indians, there should be among the pictures --one of a middle aged woman, the N.A. woman is the spitting image,of Aunt Minnie my father"s older sister, instead of someone hidden in a woodpile, I may have somebody lurking in the woods. That branch of family- Priest, but I think it's should have been Shaman. Oh well,, most of us Americans are mutts anyway- our ancestors came from a multitude of different lands. But we do have a can -do attitude and hybrid vigor in us all[emoji13][emoji38][emoji12]

Having sleeve surgery on April 19 with bouts of anxiety, nervousness and hope. Mixed emotions

You wouldn't be normal if you didn't have a few jitters. You're undertaking quite a big step in your life. Dr Weiner likens it to getting married or deciding to have a baby, a major life decision. And you may have weird dreams, I had one where my surgeon sneezed and made my bypass pouch the wrong direction. The night before my youngest son was born I was dreaming about iliac arteries.No I didn't have a c-section, if I had planned one the dream might have made sense. As it was it made nothing logical to me.And my most current before my WLS that I'll be wheeled into the designated area and 1 my surgeon was in a car crash 2 my surgeon has a Migraine Headache 3. my surgeon decided to go to his son's high school graduation instead 4 my surgeon called to say he's no longer in the mood and with each of these scenarios: bottom line- No Surgery for me.None of your worries can be as silly as these. Now stop and think how far down the road to surgery you've already come. Now you trust your surgeon, you should trust the nurses you meet at the hospital. If they weren't caring compassionate people they wouldn't last very long in that profession. Surgeries these days are oodles safer than they were a short time ago. You don't want anything bad to happen, guess what? They don't want bad things happening and they will make sure they don't. Anesthesia these days is so smooth, easy on you and nothing to dread. I had my tonsils out with ether, I was only 5 years old but I still remember being so sick. They brought me ice cream and it came right back up, barely got warm in my tummy. That's how,it was in the Bad Old Days of the 1950s. So relax, kick back a little and remember all the reasons you sought out this surgery. Everybody has their own , some of mine and yours might be the same. But I bet you they all won't duplicate. I realized for myself a fairly simple one

Life without surgery- no real future-eventual death

Life with surgery- hope for a better and longer lifespan. It will take commitment, it will take time, and it won't be easy. But I am going to make this chance at life a good one. I'm sorry I rambled on so long but it is something I'm passionate about. You will be a success and I pray I will be also![emoji12]
