It's amazing what medical science can do these days. Many of my relatives, including my dad, my would not be alive today without some of these procedures. I hope everything goes well for you.

Lots of luck for next Wednesday. Let us all know how it goes.

Will life you in prayer. My dad has had that done several years ago (he's 81). It saved his life... Maybe you can have them in moderation? hehehe especially the sweets. LOL

I will be saying a prayer for you also...oh no the basic food group cannot be gotten rid of....TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF....deanna

I am sorry you are having health problems. I had noticed that I had not seen you online or heard much from you but did not realized you were having problems. I will keep you in my prayers. I will send you an email later today. These Dr's today can preform miracles. I am sure you can eat some of the things you like afterwards, although you will have to do it in moderation. You take care and my thoughts are with you! Linda ----------- Will you have to stay in the hospital very long? I am not familar with this proceedure.

Oh, Maria, I knew this was coming up, but it got here so much quicker than I had expected. We all will be praying for you and praying that the procedure is successful. Kay

I will keep you in my prayers....there's no place better than in the hands of God.....enjoy those sweets!!!....blessings Janet

Maria, I'm sorry you are not well, but as it has already been said, the things they can do for heart patience is wonderful. I will remember you in prayer. And yes enjoy your sweets while you can. God bless, *****4U Judy

Carbs, the favorite food group for females. Hope all goes well. Please let us know how you are doing.

Good morning Maria - just saw this post. I do hope all goes well next Wednesday. I'll keep you on my prayer list. As everyone else has said doctors work marvels these days - and it won't be long before you can go back to eating your favourite foods.

Love and blessings Chris

Maria you will be in my prayers. Please keep us informed. always your friend/ Lillian

Maria I will be thinking of you and adding you to my prayers that everything goes well. Hugs, Mary

Maria I will add myself to the Cutie Prayer Team. All will go well I am sure. The thought of no more carbs like you described is plain scary. I love the same food group. Can't wait to hear from you once back on line with us.

Seems there are a lot of us with the same favorite foods...yum..Wish you all the best and please hurry back. You will be missed

You will be in my prayers Maria. I wish you a speedy recovery. Cindy B

My thoughts and prayers are with you Maria; the recovery should be rapid and eventless.
We should all be vegetarians, eating only complex carbohydrates, but I love bread, too.

I'm sure everything will be OK. My husband had to have a stent in his heart & his leg. These days they do so much and then you can go back to a normal life. Good luck & I will keep you in my prayers. Arlene

It's good the problem is going to taken care before serious problems. My DH also had a stent put in place but not before a 3 hour ambulance ride to Charlotte, NC. The procedure went well for him but he got a food wake up call. Being fit on the outside you would never know he had high cholesterol. Even on cholesterol medication and a proper diet the cholesterol still tends to be high. Will keep you in my prayers.

Maria, espero que todo salgo bien, recuerda mente positiva, que Dios te bendiga, I come un buen plato de tu comida favorita, Yo soy muy arrocera, para mi no hay nada mas sabroso, que un poco de arroz blanco acabadito de hacer con un poquito de mantequilla, o un buen pedazo de pan cubano recien horneado, I do miss it a lot, here in Dominican Republic they do not make Cuban Bread. Espero con Dios delante que todo salga bien, God bless you.

Nice willpower I would be doing it up until next Wed. hahaha
All kidding aside my thoughts, love and prayers are with you. I know your faith is strong, and your trust in our Creator is limitless. Today is the big day, I will pray for your medical staff, and that God watches over them to make sure you stay here on earth with us for a very long time.
Please let us know asap how everything turns out.

My prayers will be with you for a very speedy recovery.

Maria, been thinking of you. Hope all went well - Hugs Yvonne

Maria, how are you? Did everything go well? I'm sure you are resting today since it is after the surgery.
