Judy, congratulations on getting approved for surgery!!! I am always glad to see people who are so happy about it! For me, within a TOTAL of 3 weeks, I started (1) Researching WLS, (2) Found a doctor, (3) Submitted my request for approval, and (4) GOT APPROVED.... so I don't think I had any time to be HAPPY about it. It just kind of happened and then I wondered "What in the heck am I DOING?!" LOL (I tend to be an impulsive person, what can I say?) Anyway... if I'd known then what I know now, I would've been MUCH more excited about my decision! WLS is the best thing ever, and I'm thrilled you are going to have the opportunity to experience it first-hand and "get your life back." Going to check out your webpage now, but just wanted to congratulate you and share in your enthusiasm! *hugs*
