Kimberly - hi there! Saw your post that you are close to your surgery date and wanted to wish you best! I am having my surgery the same day - in San Diego - same kind as you. Read your profile -- except that I'm 10 years older than you, seems like we have a lot in common - especially related to the way we gain and lose the lbs. Think positive thoughts and keep in touch letting us know how you do after surgery!! All the best,
