I know tomorrow is the big day for some of us, myself included, and I just wanted to say good luck and hope you all have a fast and easy recovery!! Its been a long process for us and I for one, am so excited and can't wait to get my new life started and meet the "new" me.

Thank you, Sweetcheeks!

Best of luck to is, the 20th bunch! I am feeling a bit numb emotionally. Not as prepared as i want to be, but i think i was fearful of doing too much - what if i cant get approved? Stupid, i know. No one knows what i am about to have done - so this makes it a bit of a lonely journey. But there is no other way, as many said on this site - the new me awaits. Food will be just that, food. Exercise will be source of energy and fun. I want to be healthy and active and w/o these crippling issues for my children, for my husband, for my parents, for my friends. But first and foremost, for ME. No more eating my feelings.

Off we go!!! Best of luck, October20th fellows, lets check in later and compare notes!
