Hi Theresa, I wanted to say thanks for writing the message to me. I can't believe it is finally almost my turn for the surgery. I know it seems to take forever, but it sounds like you are moving everything ahead, getting everything ready. You're a busy person this month. Good luck to you in your surgery, recovery, and weight loss. Your kids will be so much happier having an active mommy, I know, because mine will be too. Sandy
