Congratulations on taking the "bull by the horns" so to speak Rich. Now that you are officially "seriously pre op" -- come on down to the Toms River Ocean County WLS Support Group. February's meeting is this Friday, February 3 at 7pm at Community Medical Center in Auditorium A. We are not affiliated with any specific Dr or hospital (even though we meet at CMC), and are simply a group of post WLS patients who share our experiences, stories and provide support to each other. If you need any more info, drop me a line. Hope to see you on Friday. Nannette
