We are on the same date!!!In less than a day we(and there are 47 of us so far on this sight for 7/8) will be beginning a new life for ourselves. I know you are nervous and excited at the same time. If we can survive all of the stuff for insurance, all the letters that have to be written, and all the appointments to go thru pre-op, the surgery should be easy after all that is said and done. It will be smooth sailing from here on out. It really does help to reach out and think positively. We should all be be so proud of ourselves for going this far in our journey to being healthy. It takes allot of guts to admit that we have a problem and it takes even more guts to do something about it. Give yourself a pat on the back. You deserve it!!!! Please keep us updated about your surgery, and feel free to email me if you need to talk. God Bless and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
