I'll be heading off to the hospital in about 4 hours..I'm so excited. Thank you, everyone for all of your past words of encouragement and hope. VST means alot to me and has helped me get through the year process I've had to take. Today is a significant day for me..a rebirth in a sense. I've struggled my whole life with my weight and sick and tired of being sick and tired so I'm pumped about starting this new life.

I'll try to check in when I can...here I go....woo hoo!

I made it through surgery ok..have been resting a bit. Walking as much as I can. I've been in since Tuesday and kept longer due to swallowing issues. Hopefully that will resolve itself. I knew what to expect going into it so it's not so bad. Thanks to all of you for the kind thoughts and prayers, it really means alot!

Thanks for checking in!!! Happy for you lady!!

So glad you made it through ok and good luck with the swallowing!
