Thanks, Everyone!
Margie, Lisa, Sandi and Laura:
Thank you so much for your kind words. I thought this thread had died, so it's a nice surprise that it resurfaced. When we take a moment to look where we came from, we thank the good Lord and our surgeon for the wonderful gift we've been given. "Before" pictures can be startling!
Personal Note to Sandi:
You're such a great friend to me. My transformation has been great, but you look like an angel! Many of our new forum members have no idea what hardships and delays you had to endure for your surgery. Your surgery was truly a dangerous operation in every sense of the word, and God (and Dr. Callery) brought you through it with flying colors. You honestly embody the word "inspiration." I'M NOT WORTHY!
Love you, sweetie pie!
