Hi Claudean! Do you still need help with the ticker factory link?

I'd love to see the appeal letter and maybe even use it as a template. Thank you so much! I'll give you my email address.

I've seen several of your posts... and I like your blog! Do you mind if I follow your progress?

Did you get the answer to your ticker question? I spent way too much time trying to figure it out and then my husband inadvertently showed me how. I was trying to put the code in the place wheere links to picture files go. You just copy the code from tickerfactory.com or wherever (all of it) and paste it in the textbox where your signature goes. Hope that helps.

Funny - I'm hispanic too and trippin' on the 'no tortillas' thing! (I'm pretty sure tabasco and hot sauce is fine once you're healed). Soocalchic's post below just made my day. If it's just a temporary 6 month thing, I can handle it no problem. It was the 'no rice or tortillas for the rest of your life' thing that I just couldn't wrap my brain around. The more I read, the better I feel. I hope the same is true for you.

Honestly, it helps (a lot) to know that so many other people are experiencing the same excitement/nerves... mostly about living life with a band. I'm not that worried about the surgery itself. Everyone seems to get through that just fine. Matter of fact... I'm not sure but... is your procedure TODAY? Ohmygosh - that's fantastic! Well sweetie, take a deep breath and don't you worry about a thing. Everything's gonna be great!

Sending warm thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery. So excited for you!...
