Natalie, Thanks so very much for being there for me, my sister, and everyone here. All I did was fall asleep for a few hours and wake up losing weight. (well, okay...) At least that's how it feels sometimes, even though I know much more than that went into it. You however have been guiding and helping those that came after you since you were fairly newly post-op yourself. I want to thank you for all that you've done and continue to do. I probably would have gone through with it no matter what, but the conversations I had with you (about 10-20yr prognoses, etc) helped me a lot to put some pieces of this puzzle together. Thank you. I hear you are starting up a new support group... you live (sort of) near my area now (I'm in Reston) If this new group forms near Leesburg/Ashburn/Herndon/Reston, let me know. I'd love to help out in any way I can. Julie

Julie well done! You pictures are fabulous! I remember meeting you in Richmond when you were not very far out from surgery at the Boogie and Splash. You have come such a long way! You should be extremely proud of yourself and I bet Dianna is very proud of you too! Looking forward to seeing you again on the 3rd! Jackie

Thanks Jackie! Look forward to seeing you on the 3rd too... but I was on the fence so long about going to the conference that by the time I decided to register, registration was closed.

Oh well, I still plan on meeting up with everyone for whatever dinner is to follow. See you then!
