Performers of the world...unite and get thin!! :o) Congrats on your upcoming surgery, Tara! Hey...where exactly are you having your surgery...Cedars? I think that's what I read in your bio! I wish you TONS of luck and a speedy and pain-free recovery! I, too, was a "lightweight" to start out with, and my surgery was just over a year ago..I'm down from 236 to 152. Email me with your phone number if you want someone (especially someone "theatre" like you!) to talk to, and I'll call you!! Stagedoor Debbie "All The World's a Stage..."
