Hello everyone,The time is getting closer. The day after tomorrow is my surgery. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow for my pre-op appointment. I have more of a peace about the surgery now, but I am still a little nervous. I keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing, then I remember that overeating everyday and keeping this weight on is the wrong thing and that's what I've been doing up until now.  I've come to realize that even if God takes me home I will just be starting a new life in heaven with him, and if not then I will be starting a new life on earth. I still worry about my children and how they will take it if something happens to me, but they are not little kids any more they are adults and they will survive it. They know that I love them, and if this goes well I will be able to be more of a part of their lives and of my granddaughters lives. This is truly a new chapter of my life. Sometimes I feel that I've wasted so much of my life being fat and unhealthy and unable to participate, but I'm only 47 and I have an opportunity now to make up for that lost time.  So I ask all of you who know how to pray to keep me in prayer, especially tuesday as I'm sure I will be getting nervous as I go in. Thank you all and God bless. I will report back as soon as I am able. (if I get a chance to check in before I go into surgery, I will),Love, Ina
