Newbie - Just Starting Out

Hello, my name is Khloé and I'm new here. I'm having my consultation appointment with Dr. Nick Nicholson on Friday (February 1st, 2013) and am SOOOO excited! I've gone through the pre-op process before with another surgeon, only to lose my insurance and not end up with my surgery. I'm praying like crazy that this time I will get my surgery! The last surgeon I had kept trying to force me into having the DS, which is a fabulous surgery, but the malabsorbtion is super gnarly and not something that I want.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm so happy to start this journey, and am hoping and praying the next 6 months fly by!
