Well less than 72 hours and Andrea will have crossed the dream, desire, and determination thresholds for this surgery and be on her w(ay) (eigh) to better health and self-esteem. Three cheers for all who have the 'guts' (love 'em or not!) to make this difficult but positve decision. Please go to Andrea's surgery page and wish her your best ('cause no matter how much determination we have, it is still a little scary-and no one understands like those who have been there) Diane
