Hi Helen, welcome to the board.  I don't get to post much but I do read every morning while I drink my coffee.  It helps to know that I'm not alone in this lifelong battle.  I'm hoping to be able to post more and actually attend some of the seminars now that I'm off for the summer.  You have a wonderful surgeon.  I can't say enough good things about her.  She did my lapband in November.  She's tough but she is good.  Good luck!  Jules

Welcome Helen.  Congrats on your date!  You've picked a great time to have the surgery.  I had mine in August of last year and found this time of year perfect for going out on walks...you won't regret this.  At first, you may ask yourself, did i do the right thing?  But months from now you'll say, why didn't I do this sooner!  Good luck,, the RI community is great!
