Hi Everyone,

I'm Dana from New Orleans. My surgery date is December 21st. I've been on VST since July when I first started in researching VS. I've been in the November blog all this time because that is when I originally thought I'd get through the process...but my surgeon was booked ( he's the best in this area)...So now I'm a December Sleever

I had my final appointment today -- signed consents, paid the $$$.....met with the surgeon..it was just what I needed because he totally put me at ease about the whole thing. Now I can't wait for the 21st.

I hope to get know all you guys who will be going through this journey around the same time as me.....

Are there any New Orleans or Louisiana people here?

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Karen,

Trust me, I love the food too! (obviously) My husband, who is a New Yorker keeps saying that it's cruel for someone from New Orleans to have this surgery. Food is a religion here....it won't be easy....hope down the road that I will be able to enjoy all our great food with everyone but just with lots of moderation..... our surgeries are close so I'm sure we'll be sharing experiences.....

Hope everything goes well and good luck.
