Geez I am blushing!!  I still go to both support groups, it is important for me to be there both for new people and for myself!!  I am glad I was able to inspire you, I hope I see you at group one of these days!!  Just think when you go you will be inspiration for someone else!!

You are a great motivation for those of us just getting started.  You look wonderful. 

Thanks Dewy, you are on your pre-op diet right?  You are doing wonderfully!!  Do you have a date yet?  Make sure you keep coming to these boards and read, read, read.  I have had very few surprises along the way and belive that is because I  have learned so much here!!

Keep up the good work, it will help you so much in the long run!!

Yes I am pre-op.  I am suppose to get a date this week.  I believe it will be at the end of April or soon.  I would love it to be sooner but I will take whatever date they give me.  I have learned so much from others here on the board.  Plus I went to a get together last month from here on the OH Washington board and it was very informative.  I would love the chance to meet others and listen to what they have to say.

Thanks for your support.

 Jillian- Congratulations on your 1 year surgiversary! Your before and after pics are amazing! You have also been an inspiration to me, also, especially during the long months pre-op, when I wasn't sure if my surgery would ever get approved or scheduled. I learned so much from your posts, and they gave me hope, seeing your progress. Have a wonderful time with your husband during his R and R! I hope his deployment is finished soon.-Pam

Thank you so much!!  I really can't wait till he gets here. 

I must say though you are doing quite wonderful too!!  Get out there and sound your horn!!
