YEAH MARY!!!!

C'mon now everybody... let's sing it loud & proud for our Tracy... out there on the table somewhere getting her band -- (sung to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "Badlands"):
"Band-land, you gotta live it every day, let the broken hearts stand, as the price you've gotta pay... we'll keep pushin' 'til it's understood, and these band-lands start treating us good... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... BAND-LAND... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... BAND-LAND!"
Guess I woke up in a rockin' kind of mood! Hope Tracy's rockin' her band!
Have a great day, everyone!
:rockon:

I have my date. May 21st. Up until the hospital called and told me, I wasn't nervous....but now I am! I have 3 doctors appts this week and 2 next week to get all my tests done. Whew! But I'm going out of town for about 10 days prior to the surgery so I am a bit rushed.
I can't wait!!!!:biggrin1: :clap2:

Congrats...
You will be fine. I am jealous! Enjoy the process, you will remember it forever, and in a good way.
I read this somewhere, " Nothing taste as good as Thin feels!" Remember that when your head gets hungry.
Be safe.

I am entering into the land of May Bandsters! My date is May 4th. It is still surreal to me but I am sure reality will set in before long. I want to thank everyone on this site for all their words of advice and encouragement. I have been reading for a long time now and mine was not an easy decision....

Well, I wouldn't go *that* far...
(laughing)

Journals are back! :clap2:

Cynthia - I told my parents a few years ago that I knew I was getting older because I used to get jealous because my girlfriend had a cuter boyfriend, and now I get jealous because our neighbor has greener grass.
I'm glad you got your floor fixed! My parents are visiting this weekend and my dad has promised he will fix a broken wall - that's been that way for 4 years now. 2 years ago he got as far as cutting out the broken and putting in new drywall, and one ayer of mud, but that's it! I keep telling him I'm just going to hire a drywaller, and he says, "Don't you dare..." So I wait...

Realize its not about you, its about her. Don't be the food police.

I seem to have offended someone here and I'm sorry. I did not mean to stomp all over your thread or make anyone upset. I just saw the opportunity to put my two cents in about my doctor. Well, it was just my two cents because I don't think I explained myself well.
Nataliesmommy I'm sorry about your situation. I realize now that everything you said was not about Dr Huacuz. Your intention was just to advise people to be cautious and I can respect that. I wish you a speedy recovery Nataliesmommy.
