<b>Congratulations on taking this huge step in your journey and becoming an official member of the "fellowship of the switch."</b> We hope that your surgery and recovery are swift, smooth, and uneventful. It is an interesting experience and certainly not "the easy way out" of being unhealthy and obese but each day will get a little better and be further proof that you dared to dream and had the courage to act. By going as far as Brazil to achieve your goal, you have further inspired many who long to fulfill <i>their</i> wildest dreams of being healthy and fit. Good luck and God bless!
