thanks to you all who have posted a message, i just want this to be over so i can start my weight loss goal, tomorrow will be the day i find out what i have to do before d day, we all have something to look forward to down the road and it will come in due time, most of my weight is my upper body, more in my stomach, but i too will be happy to lose more than 70 lbs, good luck to all and we'll be chatting, i did print out the questions to ask at pre-op and believe me i'm going to drill my dr tomorrow.
