Hello!
Hi all,
My name is Brenda, and I guess I would be considered a lightweight, maybe? It's hard for me to think of myself as a lightweight!!! I'm slowly moving through my pre-op appointments. Getting closer and closer to finding out a surgery date. I've browsed through some posts, and you all seem so welcoming and supportive. I can't wait to get to know you all better!
Blessings,
Brenda

Hi Brenda,
Welcome to the board. I know what you mean when my surgeon told me I was just a small thing I laughed so hard tears were coming, told him it was the first time I'd ever heard that used. What kind of surgery are you looking to have? Best of luck.
