October 27, 2003: I can't wait!

I am so ready for this surgery. I am monitoring my weight and blood pressure on a daily basis. I am trying to get as much weight off prior to the surgery as possible. Because of my family history, I am very concerned about the elevated blood pressure and for that reason I am tracking improvements as I lose weight.

Wow, congratulations Grace! Sounds like you really have your act together on this surgery, I wish you a speedy, pain-free recovery and keep us posted on the weight loss.

Grace; You hang in there girl. My date is Oct. 21st and I'm doing the same things you are, trying to peel down as much weight prior to surgery etc. My birthday is in January but I think I might have to change it or maybe add a re-Birthday. What do you think? Good luck on your surgery, I'll be praying for you. Maybe we can compare notes while we're recovering. Bob
