i love this site

i have been coming to this site for a little while now and i love it. i posted once before and got wonderful advice.. i just went to a seminar about wls here in pensacola. the doctor seemed really nice and i have already filled out my questionaire and i am going to see my pcp hopefully next week to get the actual referral. i am so excited and i can't wait to get going. my sister hopefully will be getting the wls also and my mom had it in november of 2002 and has lost 170 pounds. i know that this is not the 'easy' way out and i am totally ready to go for it. i want to run with my kids and get on the floor. i want to go to the fair and not look for benches that will hold me. anyway. if it's alright with all of you you will be seeing alot more of me. and hopefully there will soon be alot less of me to see. sheila
