After receiving this topic I immediately spent a good 20 minutes trying to remember when I had last truly been happy. I found that I really had no answer to that question.

Made my appointment at the Cleveland Clinic in Fort Lauderdale to go through orientation, meet the surgeon and have all the tests I'll need to do ordered to start the WLS process. I go down to Ft.
