Allison...I read your profile and we have alot (and I mean alot) in common. I'm older but feel like I'm a great person and loads of fun to be around. However, my weight is getting in the way. I, like you, can't wait to have the fun person shine from the inside out!! My surgery date is May 15th. I'm experiencing every emotion from fear to total euphoria!! Take care and may God bless you with what ever you decide. Lisa
