The "God" think was a real issue for me too, and all those other questions you have crossed my mind to. A good friend reminded my that God expects us to care of our bodies, and he put that Dr. in our path to help us do just that. This surgery will equip us with better health, more energy to do the things that God planned for us.

Thank you copa!!! You are absolutely right. I can't wait to see what he has planned for me. Have you had your surgery yet?

Maria,

You will have doubts up until the moment that you actually do have surgery. Heck I had doubts as they were willing me back. I even tried to get out of the morning of when a panic attack loomed. Lucky me I had the patience of a loving older sister and an experience and understanding nurse.

Don't let doubt be the decision maker for you. Choose you. Do you as successfully as you can!

Good: you will feel better than you ever have. Maybe in your whole life.

Bad: you will regret not doing it sooner

Ugly: Before pictures

I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. There are so many positives; some of which you can't "see" or "feel" they just exist: plane seats, crossing your legs, shopping in stores you couldn't before......

Best of luck to you! Be at peace with your decision and take care!

Thanks for your support guys!!! You all are amazing and such great inspiration. I am sooo looking forward to crossing my legs, LOL!!!
