Hi everyone.Tomorrow is my surgery day. I go in at 7:50am. I can't wait. I am so excited! Plus I lost 8 more lbs being on the liquid diet. I'm so happy! The past few days I went back and forth about if this is the right thing for me. I know it is, but you still have those thoughts in your head. But I am over that and just so thrilled about going forward with this. My sister who was my support because I live with her is now saying that it is too much for her to handle and it is stressing her out. I have been asking her for 4 months to take before pics of me and she just kept saying she would but would never do it. I asked again the other night and she was like "lets get this over with so I can stop stressing over it". I don't know why she is being like that. It makes me think I shouldn't have the surgery just so she won't be stressed out. I hope after I have the surgery she will support me and I will try not to be a burden to her. Please keep me in prayer for my surgery and afterward. Thank you all. debby

I didn't get on DS yesterday.. left you a message on FB last night... it was like 8:20 pm our time and since I knew you would be having surgery today I didn't want to call you hoping for your sake you were sleeping. Debby I'm really sorry your sister is not being as there for you as she could be... Its an extra thing for you to have to struggle through. I hope as she sees you reaching your goals she will be inspired. Thinking of you and hoping you're doing better soon. Hugs Elissa

I am so happy for you Deb, you have been waiting a long time for this day to finally come around. You will do fine and your sister will get it together! You will be surprised how quickly you will heal. I had my daughter stay with me the first night after that I sent her on her way, (she was too attentive ;) I will be praying for you sweetie!
