... is when my new life will begin. A small step for the surgeon who'll be cutting out some 80% of my stomach, a gianourmous step for me!

I will post "from the other side" once I'm out of the fog of the anesthesia and pain killers. And next time we have a get together, I too will be eating a ridiculously small amount of food and be thrilled about it

Cheers,

Monica

Holly cow that's tomorrow !!!!!!

Hey Monica,
Your day has finally arrived! You'll see it'll be a walk in the park. We are planning a get together at the end of the month and if you are feeling better, you should show up. Please keep us updated on your recovery. I know you are gonna rock this. I'm sliding down the bench for you! Lots of room for more!
