Stephanie, CONGRATS on your upcoming surgey. I too I have spent my entire life MO. I had my surgery at 47 years old, and I am finally wearing a size 10/12 when 7 months ago I was wearing 24/26. I even had my mom special order clothes while in grade school. This is the best gift you will ever give yourself. I am living with a feeding tube due to my body rejecting the RNY, but I would do this again in a heartbeat. We live close together so if you ever need to talk or visit I would love to meet you. My prayers are with you and your family. There is plenty of room on the losers bench.
God Bless You,
Terry
