Thanks for you kind words and encouragement.
I've been trying to soul search and rationalize this surgery. I often feel that my only goal is to be thin. I don't want this to be about vanity. As I know, my health is deteriorating. So, why do I think this way.......?
I'm getting close to approval and getting a date set, so thanks for listening and I'm sure this is not the end of my cry for your input.
Thanks again!
