I am back home in Florida. While I was in NY I saw oll of my doctors and everyone was very pleased with my success and test results.

All of my blood work was good and my weight loss. I am maintaining at about 130. I feel great. Not sure about going back down to 125 as I looked a little sunken in in the face at that weight. I never thought I would see the day that 5 pounds could make such a difference.

Today my friend Marianne C is having her surgery here in Fl which is why I came back a little early. I sit here remembering what I was feeling the morning of my big day.  Tears well up in my eyes when I think of all the emotions she is going through thismorning. Excitement, fear, anticipation, anxiety etc.

I am sure she will do GREAT as she doesn't have many of the risk factors that I did that caused alll of my complications. She is so strong willed and so positive. A remarkable woman with brains to match. She has researched and worked very hard to get to today, her REBIRTHDAY. I hope anyone who reads this will send hers prayers and good thoughts today.

I am her surgery "Angel" and will post reports to her surgery page later today.
