At Last I Get It

[Guest guest]

On Wednesday I attended my first support meeting in Richmond. I sat

there and thought why hadn't I been here where the support and

understanding I needed was abundant. I listened and watched and even

had some input. Since my approval in February I'd just freaked out.

I don't know if I was afraid or just in shock. But now I know that I

can do this. I was there in the room with those who were already on

the other side. They were healthy and most of all happy. All of the

fears were addressed as each person spoke. This is where I need to be

instead of with friends and family who do not understand this process

at all. So now the work begins to start my journey over, get this 10%

off and jump to the other side. Thank you all for what you have done

and what you will do to help us across.

Janis, it truly is a learning process but more

importantly you have to make the decision to have this

surgery for yourself and not for any other reason

except that.

It is great to be around others who have gone abroad

and to be with those who are going through this

process just as you. You will gain so much knowledge

and share ideas about what works and what won't.

Continue to attend the meetings if you can. It will

help take you further when you feel like you can't go

any further.

I wish you luck with your 10%. When you think you

can't do it, you will look back at where you came from

and no that the end is just near. All you have to do

is continue on the path and you will be on the other

side sooner than you think.

Take care. Best wishes!
