Hello there. I have been reading this forum faithfully for almost 2 years, and today I finally took the plunge and signed in!!!! I have watched many of you go from the frustrated pre-op to thriving post-ops. I've learned soo much from all of you......and for that I THANK YOU. I have waited approx. 16mths for this surgery, and I only have 6 days to go. I am very excited of course, but I also feel that I could use a few friends on my side who have walked this crazy road before me. This is where I'm kinda hoping you guys come in !!-lol

Well.....time for my Opti !! ( which tastes pretty good with a shot of SF Red Raspberry Torani lots of ice - in the bullet in choc or van) Take Good Care Everyone !!!
