Rosie,
I started thinking about this process a few years ago and finally got serious in March 04. I was very scared, worried and basically not doing it for the right reasons, health etc. I learned that I had to come to that point in my life where I was ready to take control instead of letting my body control my life. I am very very happy with my decision. My surgery is scheduled for 08/12/04. I am a single mother of 4 and I will do this not for them but for me. I am very scared but with the good Lord above I can accomplish anything. I wish you luck on your journey to a better life.
Donna
