Hi there! Well, I'm going in on Friday, 11/9/07. I'm really excited, scared, nervous, thrilled... you name it. The 2-week pre-op diet is a bit of a crummy deal, but I can make it. Keeping my eye on the big prize!! My surgeon is Dr. Alperovich at Washington Bariatric. He's really great!! My husband has been so incredibly supportive. I truly married the world's greatest man. I'll definitely report back with more news as I have it. ~
