judy,
thanks for your well wishes! although i am not looking forward to tomorrow like i do christmas dinner i am ready to get this over with. :) i started looking into wls around 5 years ago. after reading alot about it i figured i HAD to be able to do this myself. i was wrong. i gained more weight. so i finally made the descision to do it. a good one it was too. hang in there kid and keep in touch. i'll try to let everybody who took time to say hi to me know how my progress is. talk to ya in about a week!
