Thanks guys really appreciate all the support!

For the first time I talked to one of my best friends last night about getting surgery, and they did not approve of it....but I don't care what they think because I have FULL support from my family and YOU GUYS!, I'm doing this for ME not for anyone else.

Jeez the hate is already coming down on me from people....Just have to brush them off my shoulder and keep it moving.

It's going to be a tough road ahead, but I will not let it bring me down

Congrats Tony... it's a surreal experience from the time of approval until you get home after surgery... I think I floated all the way through it in a fog... "Pinch me" to make sure it's real!

Your positive attitude is going to carry you a long, long way (weigh?)! Best wishes!
