fluffydivantn 5 Posted May 7, 2013 Well tomorrow is the day I get my surgery date. I am so excited! the only negative part is my doctor has quite a few patients and my surgery will probably be sometime in late June or early July. I know it is right around the corner but when u have been struggling with weight loss your entire life its seems forever like you will never get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Vst, just continue to pray for me and that we all encourage each other! I will keep you posted of date tomorrow! 1 MrzSongbird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
