Only 5 more days.....

I'm am so excited, my surgery is on 5 days away.  It's seems like it's been such a long time coming but, these last few weeks have gone by so fast.  My emotions have been all over the place.  I was distraught last week because I did not have the support of someone very close to me.  Once I got my date I shared with more people that I would be having the surgery.  OMG! I was so unprepared for the reactions.  From the one I was sure I would be able to count on for prayer and support telling me that they couldn't believe I was doing it....to everyone else having a family member or friend of a friend or someone they knew who either had terrible complications or died! It took me several days to re-group.  I  experienced a great amount of sadness, fear and anxiety for a good week.

But, thanks to my few supporters, prayer, faith and a couple of devine encounters I am ready!
I ran into two people on Friday, one at my place of business which is a huge place with tons of employees and the other  happened to sit next to me at a restaurant...  my interactions with them made me  more confident than ever that I have made the right choice and super excited about the hope and possibilities that are ahead. 
These two people both had RNY both with Kaiser and both through Pacific Bariatric where I am going.  They were walking testimonies of where I'd like to be.  Thank God for arranging for me to run into them!
