One week away!
Hi - I just discovered this forum and have already picked up some great information. (I even watched the Carnie Wilson video last night). My surgery is scheduled for next Monday - March 20th. My surgeon is Dr. Michelle Toder and I'm having it done in Bangor, Me. (They received their Center of Excellence status last fall). Everyone here seems so positive - this is going to be a great help getting through those tough spots. I can't wait to start my new life....so many things I want to do!!

Thanks Everyone - hopfully I'll be a big "loser". I wonder what it'll be like to buy clothes off the rack, play basketball comfortably with my son, get rid of the joint pain, fit on the rides at Disney, not avoid mirrors, etc. All those things some people take for granted. I'll bet it will feel incredible!!
