Val;
I couldn't be happier for you, sweetie!! Welcome to the "lighter side!!" Prayers do get answered, and you are proof, you had waited so long, but now you will start to celebrate your life in a whole new way!! Just remember to walk as much as you can and drink water, follow your doctors advice and soon, very soon, you will feel more energy and stamina than you ever thought possible, and oh yes, a slimmer you too!! :)
Love ya;
Dorothy
