Monday is my surgery date and I can hardly believe it almost here. I have only told a limited amount of family about the surgery. Getting very excited about what the future will bring.also very excited about being to reduce the pain in my joints and being able to tie my shoes without needing oxygen. People were taking my picture yesterday and I didn't mind because I knew it was the last time I would ever be this heavy again

Best of luck! It will be the best thing you've ever done for yourself. Remember to breathe deeply, walk and drink (when allowed). I know you'll feel crappy some days, but it''s all worth it. By the way, love the dog!!
