Hi Diane, Just wanted to say WELCOME!!!! We are glad to have you!! I think I am the only one awake now, but it is good to have a new friend!! Congratulations on your date. I hope your surgeon agrees with you on your date. Pam

Hi guys! And welcome Diane. I just got in from work and never can seem to unwind when I hit the door so here I am. Diane, sounds like you are doing magnifico! Keep up the hard work. I live near Salisbury in Woodleaf, so am using a surgeon in Greensboro. Did yours require you to go to a seminar before they would make an appointment with you? That's what I'll be doing tomorrow night. Susan

Oops! I think I just sent an email to you when I was trying to post a reply. Sorry about that! Anyway - welcome Diane. Your doing great! Susan

Hi Diane! I am hoping to have my surgery about the same time as you! Best of luck to you and keep up the good work!

Hi and welcome, Diane. Sounds like you are doing really great already (21lbs on your own beforehand is WONDERFUL!). I'll be sending good thoughts your way that your surgeon agrees with you on your surgery date. Lisa L.
