Dearest Michelle, congrats on your upcoming surgery. I, too have mine on the 9th!!! I also have 4 kids (3girls & 1 boy) and my youngest is 13 months, so I understand the need to carry her and crawl around with her. I want to be around for a long time to see them all grow, and you and I will get to do that, now that we both soon will be on the other side of being healthier and loving ourselves to the fullest. So good luck to you, too!!
