Her comments weren't really about the surgery, she was just using the occasion to take a pot-shot at a Republican. People like her inject their political views into every miniscule aspect of their day. Then they turn around and call everyone else "mean-spirited." If she were speaking about, oh say...Michael Moore choosing the lap-band procedure, she would not have said what she did. It's sickening.

Good for you luckyducky! Mine is at 7:15 a.m. Monday. I'm ready! Hope things keep going well for you. Keep us posted.

My surgery is scheduled for the 15th. Santa Barbara, CA I'm glad I only have two days of clear liquids over the weekend. Time is passing quickly and I'm a little nervous, but excited.

My name is Steve and I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday, September 15th. Yesterday afternoon I got on the scale out of curiosity and found I have reached my pre-surgery goal weight. That was a relief, because my surgeon will absolutely not operate if I haven't taken off the required weight. I've been buying my post-surgery items to be ready for the journey. I got sugar-free lifesavers and Chapstick (for dry-mouth in the hospital), and Gas-X strips to help with the gas after surgery. I also found a Water bottle that I guess will be practically attached to my hand from now on... I've been walking a couple of miles per day. I hear that really helps after surgery to keep the pain down, as well as getting rid of the painful air pockets left over afterward. I get my surgery time at my pre-op appointment on Friday. Then, I have two-days of liquids before surgery. It's getting exciting! Wishing you all the best!
