“Recently I received an email asking if I had any advice on how this person should be thinking, or any concerns she should have before her upcoming surgery date. (…) First, I would focus on prayer.  You are going to need it.  Pray for clarity and the desire for life-change and a new lifestyle. Take time to prepare your mind for the ridding of all your bad habits.” — Karen Gillman, 11-year Lap Band Veteran.
