Aviator- Thank you! If we come down to TX, I will def be in touch.

It's so nice to be able to pick the brains of those who have gone before!
Ardita- Congrats on your weight loss and hang in there! I too have been overall resistant to the body-reconstruction thing. But I remind myself that all this fat has already reconstructed my body in so many ways I HATE! So WLS is my way of fighting back and regaining the life I have lost to being fat. Like I said, hang in there and I am sure that once the weight starts pouring off of you and you begin to re-live your life, the reconstruction won't be too big of a deal anymore. Good Luck and keep updating with your progress!
