Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to say hello and how happy I am for all of us. I wish each of you the "bestest "safest surgery. I have had a date for quite a while now so I am on semi- auto pilot now. I am experiencing many different emotions but mostly happiness. I really cannot survive in this body and the knowledge that I can do something about it has my heart singing with joy. Sound a bit flowery for me but I cannot help it. I literally made my funeral plans less than a year ago. I had resolved it was hopeless. I am trying not to obsess about the danger, the pain, failure. I am trying not to gain any more weight! I am glad to have all of you along on this journey. We should meet back here in one year to see what our losses add up to be. Have a great day. Laurie

I wish you the very best on your surgery too! I think meeting back in a year - or even 6 months is a great idea!!

Hi Laurie! I wish you the "bestest safest surgery" too! Kym
