Hi Maureen! I am so happy for you! To think that just a few weeks ago you were still wondering if it would be happening, and now IT'S HAPPENING. I know we've spoken a couple of times recently (actually more often in the last two weeks than in the entire lifetime we have both been living in Corvallis with mutual friends) but I'll tell you again and again: This surgery is such a blessing and I am so happy that you are going to be able to experience it too. It's not easy, and don't let anyone get away with thinking that it's the easy way out. You will struggle with it.... you may wonder if you did the right thing, you may struggle with old eating habits and past social patterns... but trust me that it is SOOOOOOO worth it. After years of frustration and starting each new diet with the subconscious likelihood of failure, this surgery will give you the tools to change everything and give you the power to make it work. That 'change everything' is the scary part, but in this situation it is such a wonderful and empowering change. Surround yourself with people who support you and are excited for you... that is so important. I could go on and on, but just know that I am praying for you as you go into surgery and I can't wait for you to experience it on the losing side! Sue
