Thanks for the encouragement, Angela. I am feeling very excited and very nervous! My doc's office called yesterday and asked me if I want to move my surgery date up two weeks to this coming Friday. I'd like to, just to get it over with! The waiting is hard. I'm waiting to hear from my partner in the company. He's been taking the summer off but wants to be back during my recuperation period. I appreciated reading your postings - I know (as I'm sure many of us do!) how hard it can be to struggle with an eating disorder. Hang in there, you can do it! Warm regards, Kathy
