Hi Susan.....I know that your surgery is coming up and you may be feeling excited, nervous, strange, alone, and many more emotions! Please remember one thing! You are not alone!!!! We are all here with you going through the same things. You are now in an exclusive club. Not everyone can be in our "Club"! We've worked very hard to get here. Everything will go just fine, as it should. During the times when I'm too busy too post anything, I am still constantly thinking about my WLS buddies and sending them my prayers. Good luck on your surgery and we'll look forward to hearing from you when you reach the other side!
