Girlfriend, your day is almost here and so is mine !!! I get SO excited when I picture myself a year from now... healthier and living life to the fullest again. I feel the same excitement for you and all my other new friends from the message board because I know we all share many of the same dreams and that many of our dreams will be realized thanks to WLS. I'll be praying for you and your surgical team, girl !! Remember to walk, walk, walk as soon after surgery as possible. :)
