Sheila, great job!! I hope I can do as well as you when I get to the losing side. I have a few questions if you don't mind. Have you had any regrets? Did you have any problems other than the dehydration episode? Do you miss anything about your old life? I'm pre-op, roughly about the same size you were when you started, (however, I'm sure I'm a good bit older than you) and I am having a few second thoughts. Again, congrats on you weight loss! Debbie
