I just can't believe it! May 7th is the beginning of the rest of my life. I wish it was tomorrow. Some people think I'm crazy...I know you've all gotten the looks..."you would have surgery to lose weight?!?" Well you would do chemo if you had cancer, huh? As an addiction therapist I would give my left arm for a cure for addiction. Anyway, what an amazing medical intervention for those of us who have suffered from an epidemic disease. And people ask, "arent you afraid of the pain?" Really? Two major C-sections for my bundles of joy..

Nah...not scared at all. Some pain has a means to an end. Anyway, I had to share my excitement with those who truly understand. Thank you for listening!!
