Suzzanne, your day will soon be here. I am sure that it cannot come fast enough, right! I am a fellow Ohioian who is THRILLED with the results of this surgery and I pray you will be too! Many have been down the path you are setting out on. We are all happy and healthier now than we have been in years! This is a GOOD thing you are doing for yourself! Remember the rules, protein first, water, and move around...follow them and you will be a big loser before you know it! All my best wishes to you on your upcoming day! May you have peace over your decision! Stacy
