Dear Rich~~~~CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!on your approval and your date. August might seem like such a long way down the road but the time will fly by. It's great that you are meeting with the dietitian every month-you'll already be in lifestyle change mode by the time you are post-op. The weight loss is wonderful too. I wish you the best of luck; I will keep you and Joanne in my thoughts and prayers. Will email again before your date. Be well. Lorraine

I'm wishing you a safe, uncomplicated surgery and a fast, smooth recovery. I had my Open RNY on 12/10/01 and have absolutely NO regrets other than not doing it sooner. It really was the best thing I could have done for myself. God bless you as you begin your new, healthier life.
