hello everone

what a wonderful outlet ...so nice to have you all to talk to..my name is lynn ...and my surgery is friday morning 11/11.....that will be my new birthday .....i am full of excitement and anxious at the same time ....more excitement though....

Hi Lynn.......... Good luck with your surgery this Friday!! I'll be having mine one week later, so I am anxious to hear how you do. But from all I've read, we are both going to do fine!! Very exciting going through such a life-changing experience!! See you on the "loser's" bench................ *Kam*

Good Luck Friday with your surgery!! Anxious I understand.. I am 6 months out and so much has changed in my life that I am anxious to see what is coming next!! You have promise now!!! The ability to actually loose weight when before you never could no matter how you tried!! You will be "NORMAL" soon!!!! Hats off to NORMAL!!! it is not just a pipedream any more!!! Linda

You're probably at the hospital now...or going to be going there very soon, but I just wanted to tell you congratulations on making such a big life decision (I'll be joining the loosing side on 11/16). I will be praying for you, actually right here and now...God grant you a painless or near painless and speedy recovery, followed by a successful weightloss and healthy life, ***BIG HUG*** May you feel supported and loved through the difficult changes you are under-going and may you always feel sure and steadfast in your decision. Don't forget to tell us how you're doing when you get a chance! Amy
