hi gina i live in upstate ny too! i love it when i see someone on here that could be as close as a phone call away. my two sisters and i had the surgery so we actually have each other to support. i have been talking to lady on line who is trying to decide whether or not to get it done. i hate people who judge!!!! dont they realise if we could have done it in our own strength we would have? as if this is an easy route too OMG! i am here for you if you need me. i live in baldwinsville and would love to talk to you if you need to. just know, that you know that this is about you and only you! seems selfish but so worth it in the end as the pounds melt away

take care terri
