Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Well, this is it. I am currently 12 hours away from being on the losing side. I don't feel the least bit nervous, and everyone keeps asking me if I am. I think what I am feeling is excitement. I feel like I'm just ready to get this show on the road. I would appreciate any prayers. They go such a long way. Vickie 5'01 " BMI 42 pre-op 223 6-7-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Vicky, Good luck to you tomorrow!!.. I felt the same way you are now.. My surgery was on May 5th, I felt like a kid going to an amusement park for the first time of her life!! It was a great feeling. Hope your recovery goes as well as mine.. Take care, and good luck.
