I'm so excited for you! You are on your way to living your life on your terms! In some ways, we're given a gift, going through this can teach us just how precious life truly is, and not to take good health and 'normal' size for granted. And most of all, not to waste it, but to savor life and live it to the fullest. Kudos to you, and your new life! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers Monday.
