See Ya On the other side

Good Morning Everyone

I just wanted to take a brief minute before I walk out the door to

the

beginning of my new and healthier life.

Today I am FINALLY having my distal gastric bypass with a duodenal

switch to be performed by the wonderful and compassionate Dr

Anthone of

USC University Hospital in Los Angeles.

I know that I am in the best hands and I pray that everything will

be

as uneventful as possible... I know that I am doing the right thing, but

you

know I am really nervous

As said ... Nurses can be the worse patients and advised me

not to

try and treat myself LOL... Its hard giving up control but ... a girls

got

to do what a girls gotta do

I'll see you all on the other side Thank You all for the love

and

blessings that you have given to me , and the knowledge that I have

received

from you. I applaud you as you have been the bravest and most

knowledgeable

people that I have ever gotten to know !

Blessings to all of you

Love
