January 28th is finally the date!

It will be 13 months from the time I've started this process and has seemed like forever at times. It still seems very far away, but I know it will pass more quickly than I imagine now. No help from the insurance company at this time, but I can't wait any longer, for many reasons. This is my investment in myself and there are so many things I can't wait to do again!

Linda: Congratulations on you date. I have my date as Jan 22, 2004 and my thoughts where what a great way to start a new year. What a wonderful resolution. I say: ITS THE BEGINNING OF THE END of all this excess weight and a new year for the inner me to SHINE. Best of luck for a happier new year. My prayers and thoughts are with you

Congrats Linda, you and I will have surgery the same day. I'm in Peoria, IL, and will be thinking of you!
