Dear,Lori I am sorry but I have never looked at the memorial site I didn't even know there was one.And Thankyou for the pretty compliment I have never had anyone say that to me Thankyou.Now for your surgeryDon't be worried keep thinking about the life after surgery that you are going to live for no matter what.At first it is tuff but it's like walking through a flowery feeld it just keeps going and goin and that is how your weight is going to go.I was very excited about my suergery the whole wait until I hit that table but by7 the time I started getting gittery Theyfill you up with some really good feeling meds.So when they are putting you out just think of walking through that field of flowers and where it is going to lead you .SUCCESS

Candi, CONGRATULATIONS on your loss! That is fantastic. Have you reached your goal? What, if any, challenges are you encountering one year out? I am currently waiting for approval from my insurance company. I hope to be were you are a year from now. Liz G.

Candi, Congratulations, great job. Thanks for answering our questions. I will be having surgery on Oct. 15th. I have a few questions: What are the best things to do to prepare for surgery? What helped you be successful in your weight loss? What was the toughest obstacle you had to overcome? What was the best advice you have gotten? Thank you!
