Hello Dennis - <b>CONGRATULATIONS</b> on your upcoming surgery. What a happy and important day for you. One that you have more then earned and you so well deserve. I also live in the Seattle WA area, and will be using Dr. Weber to perform my surgery. My first appointment with him is tomorrow, probably about the same time you're being wheeled into the recovery room? : ) I look forward to reading all the wonderful and exciting changes that you will be blessed with as you begin to make your journey to the healthier side! It is time to start living life for YOU, and this surgery is just the first step of many to come that will lead you in that direction. Embrace life, meet it head on, keep your head held high and a smile on your face. My prayers and best wishes are with you. <i>"The key to happiness is dreams, the key to success is making those dreams come true"</i> Hugs & Aloha, Lei
