I think I am and I dont think I could of had a better Dr. I went for my PAT today at the hospital. I want to thank everyone for their support and prayers. I hope I make it thru this w/o a problem....... Mary Pre-op 5/4/04

Mary!!!!! I am so happy for you!!!! You are doing the right thing! You will feel like anew person after this surgery! I went for my 3 month chck-up last friday and I am down 56 pounds so far. I feel awesome and you will too! Stay positive, that helps so much! It is a little tough in the beginning but as time goes by it gets easier! I am so glad your time has come!!! I know you were very upset and down, but like we said "everything happens for a reason"! I will be thinking of you and praying for you! MaryJo
