Trish;
WOOOO HOOO!!! I get the privilege to be the first to sign your page!! I am so excited for you as your surgery approaches! Alot of members in our support group have had surgery this year, so you are definitely in good company! They can all understand where you are at and what you are going thru! I had surgery on 9-05-01 with Dr Kligman in Toledo, Ohio, and I can honestly say I haven't felt this good in as long as I can remember! I never was afraid of the surgery, I looked forward to it as an avenue to change my life for the better. There are risks with any surgery, but to me, there were greater risks staying heavy, so as I said, I eagerly awaited my surgery date, and have not, for one minute, regretted my decision!!:) GOD bless you and hold you in the palm of HIS hand and have his angels guard you and keep you safe!!! ((((hugs)))
