I'm ready, I don't have date just yet, but I'm on the road to making better choices. Better Health. I;m schedule for a couple of surgery clearance procedures, then Ill be able to get a surgery date. I have the psyche evaluation coming up on 7/21, the EGD scheduled because I have a diverticulum in my esophagus so my surgeon wants to make sure I won't have any issues during surgery. I'm getting pretty excited.

You're right. We could be related! You actually look just like one of my cousins, but she's 5'8. :)

I know you haven't had surgery yet, but you still look good! A good attitude and a great personality makes up the person and you look like you have both! :-)
