'thann

I have decided that I am Officially Pre-Op as of today. I have exactly one month until surgery (April 29).

Thanks to everyone here for providing a wealth of information and support since I first decided on WLS last June! Thinner Times is a real haven.

It's been a long and bumpy ride, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

Congratulations! You must be thrilled! And with a month before surgery, you have just enough time to get yourself prepared! Again, congrats!
