Hi AJ

Sorry I haven't written, I'm been away. Wow your scheduled the day
after me. Great. We'll probably meet in the hospital. I too am a
nervous wreck and eating more than I have in the last year. I'm an
emotional eater also and since I decided to do this I'm crazed,
excited, scared etc etc, my emotions are all over the place.

I live in New York, will be in Fl Oct 6 thru 17th. I see Dr Revis on
the 11th. Then I return for the surgery Nov 5th for 3 weeks. The
time is flying by.

I have a list of things I want to do when I get to Florida, I
definitely want to get a recliner, didn't have one when I had my
gastric bypass and wished I had so definitely going to rent one this
time around.

Anyone willing to talk about their scars? What will be in store for
us in that area? I've seen the before and after photos but they
seem too good to be true.

AJ let me know if you want to talk, we can give each other some
emotional support.

and good luck!

Connie
