Hi, Lisa...I'm Joan and I just had my one year anniversary. Believe me, I can feel your pain. I wish for you only good health success and happiness. I can tell you that you will not regret this decision. By reading your posts, it seems you are more than ready to face the challanges of the surgery. March 10th is the first day of your new life. Just think...a year from now, you're going to be like the rest of us...clothes horses with more energy than you could ever imagine. The world will change for the better. My thoughts and prayers are with you...
