Gwen ~

I read your posts almost every day.  I'm having my WLS ond 12/8 and I truly cannot wait!  When I first posted a few months back I remember you saying to me to make sure I was ready in my head for this because I was so scared.  Now, I can say I'm no longer scared of this journey, I am totally excited for it. The idea of the surgery itself is a bit nerve wracking, but what surgery isn't?

THANK YOU for being an honest support person and I look forward to reading your milestones while accomplishing some of them myself in the months ahead.

Kim

It's great that you've getting excited!!  I was so psyched about my surgery - you're right that any surgery can be a little scary due to anesthesia and all, but this surgery ROCKS.  :D  

You'll reach your goals with hard work and dedication!

Totally on top of the moon.  I'm so thrilled :D  And the thought of celebrating with food didn't even cross my mind - I went for a run instead.  Hehe.
