Im bummed!!!!! I had the support group on my calendar and the Red Robin and low and behold, my husband has a business dinner tuesday night which I have to attend, at least good food, and Thurs we have out of town relatives who just called to spend the night. It is a good thing I like this niece and her husband. Thought about all of us coming for about 2 seconds and since I haven't told any family about the surgery, decided NOT. Just got my call from Robin. I'm am now officially locked in as I am paid. It is beginning to get REAL. Just found out my regular doctor scheduled me for a bone density and a colonoscopy on the 13th of August. Since my surgery is the 15th, might as well stay on clear liquids the whole time, so the sleepy gas wont mess up my gut. Marilyn :faint:

Looks like several of us have gone out and bought motivational clothes. I can't wait to post a picture wearing my new skirt. It will probably be a year, but.....I ( we) will get there. Thanks for the support. Best wishes and prayers to those who have had surgery and those who are having it today. One step at a time. Please all of you that have had surgery, keep us posted, we are proud of you, and maybe a bit jealous.:clap2: Marilyn

:)I am scheduled Aug 15 with Dr. K. in Denver. Excited and scared!!! Marilyn
