Debra, you are wonderful! You have taken charge of your life and health. You care enough about yourself to go out and get healthy by having this surgery and you've done this all on your own. You are so worth it! Get that surgery you have fought so hard for and don't let anyone sabotage you as you lose all your excess weight. Imagine how you'll be looking byt this time, next year? WOW! Remember you are worth fighting for. God Bless! :):):)
