Weight Loss Surgery Jan 21
This is a drastic solution to what I have come to realize is a drastic, drastic problem. The coming months will likely not be easy, but I am confident that this is the right course of action for me.
My parents are coming to be with me and stay through the first week or more of recovery. I plan to be away from church for 2-3 weeks.
I will keep you updated on my progress.
Thanks for your support!
Sarah

I'm doing so much better. Thanks to everyone for the cards, emails, and phone calls.
I have lost 12 pounds in two weeks. My lunch today was 5 pieces of shrimp. Dinner last night was one scrambled egg. It's absolutely unbelievable, as those of you who have shared a meal with me could attest to.
I stopped in at the church office today to say hello. I plan to be back on half-days starting Monday (or whenever I can get there!) I expect to be back at church services on Valentine's Day.

How are you, Sarah? I haven't been to this site lately, so just learned about the surgery. I hope you are recovering well. It sounds like you went about this the right way with lots of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical preparation! Good for you!
Warmly,
Donna Bain

But I join the chorus of support here that is thinking about you and holding you in our hearts. It's cloudless and sunny, and a little nippy outside today. The chill will keep everyone on their toes. It's a good day for surgery. Holding you in my heart now and during recovery, June

Sarah we wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery. A woman in my office had lap band surgery just before Thanksgiving and is really making a lot of progress. She is very happy she did it. I hope you will be happy with your results.
We'll be thinking of you. Gerda
