Holly, I just want to take a moment to tell you that I think you are a very brave person. I have been considering this surgery for about 7 years now. I have been overweight for the most of my life and I tell you, after I saw your site and how good you look, you give me courage to make my appt. and go to Dr. Engler. Keep up the good work, and pray for me as I start this journey. You are looking good, Anne
