Hi everybody:

I have been a member of this site for a while and have been getting all of the info that I can. I am having my surgery in January and I am so excited! I think I am even more excited now that I have read everybody's posts. I have gotten so much good advice and information here. I hope that I can get to know everybody a little better. Heres to better health! and I hope to talk to you soon.

Sorry to keep buggin but I have read all the stuff about tickers and still cant figure out how to use them so if someone could help me that would be great!

Congratulations! Glad you are here. I'm getting banded on Friday and have found LBT to be invaluable! Great people here. (Love your sn name!)

I am hoping to get banded in January as well. It is exciting. I am starting my list of things to have after the surgery. like gas- x, broth, glycerine suppositories, and a heating pad. I know there are other things I need but I am still learning. I am keeping my favorite cds with me for comfort. I have learned so much from everyone on this site. glad to see another newbie. I have been on this site for a couple of months and have found alot of comfort in it. because I have to admit I am scared. not about the things I have to change but more over the surgery. How about you?

Welcome! I don't have a date yet myself, but hope for January.

Welcome valhallagirl and hedwig! Good luck to you both in January Just yell out if you have any questions and I'm sure someone around here will have an answer or two.
