Angie I'm going to pray for you and hoe that your able to have WLS. Its a long road but it is so worth it. I had my WLS on July 27,2006 and I'm really happy about it. I too live here in Stockbridge, but I did not have my operation here becasue I had to pay cash. I have lost 50 pounds in just 5 week. So keep your chin up, and stay happy. if you need to you can e-mail me from my profile.
