Christine, congratulations on your surgery date! I'm sure you'll agree that time can't pass fast enough!!! Just wait, only 3 more weeks and you'll be on the losing side!! You are in wonderful hands with Dr. Koler and have no doubt that she'll take great care of you! Next Wednesday I'll be 3 months out from surgery with her as my surgeon and 81 pounds down!!! She's AWESOME!!! Best wishes to you on your up coming surgery!
