My new birthdate 2/20/04

Am preparing mentally, emotionally and spiritually for this change. Unbelievable to me that this day is here and am so ready! This website has been an important resource, likewise, those that share their experience, strength and hope are amazing as well.

Congrats! All those feelings totally kool. I freaked out for 3 days prior to surgery. I mean I though I was ready. Everything happened so fast. I did not have to fight with my insurance company and got the date quickly. I felt like I was on a roller coaster. I even wrote and emailed friends and family "just in case letters". cause you never know. I am 10 days post op and on my way to the other side "the right side in Mandees not the left Plus sizes"lol. Keep in touch

I'm right there with ya...sooooo nervous !!!!!! really think i'm gonna miss food alot hoping to not feel hungry anytime soon !!!!!
