Hi all... and thank you all so much for the kind words of encouragement. I'm a little scared, but mostly, I feel wonderful: because I am on the road to a whole new me!! A happier, healthier me!! Thank God for giving me this opportunity to become a renewed person, so that I can help and enjoy my family so much more. I pray that the surgeons perform the best operation possible and that I become an excellent example of PERFECT WLS. Thanks again everyone for giving me so much support, love and your prayers.
