Sue and Michelle, and Francesca! I just want you to know that you've been on my mind all day, and have been sending you tons of white light. Sue, I know you are an athiest, which is groovey, but I also know you won't begrudge me sending you some positive and warm thoughts.

You both have increadible strength and LBT has benifitted from your wisdom here. I have benifitted from your wisdom and strength.

I'm sure you have been on everyone else's minds today as well, and we all send you our love.

I'm editing to include Francesca! How could I forget one with such a gentle spirit!?

Thanks everyone, you have no idea how much this means to me to have all of your love and support, as the time draws closer I 'm struggling with lots of anxiety. I'm leaving for Tj at 6:00 am tomorrow morning, will have pre op tests at 8:30 am...I love you guys, you are all awesome! Will post Wednesday when I get home.

Thanks Vines for starting this thread. My heart goes out to you all for facing these surgeries. I too am sending all my love and prayers.

This is a scary time for us bandsters. I too am concerned about my band and am requesting a endoscopy from my doc. Nothing is alarming me I just wanna give myself piece of mind.

Gosh this sucks!!!!

Me too. I've suddenly developed nighttime reflux again the last 3 days. I figure I'm either stretched or slipped again. Neither of which I'd be happy about. I've contemplated the ER all day, but I've put myself on liquids/soft foods instead hoping to call the doc tomorrow.

sue,

what are you having done?

good luck and will talk to you all friday or sat..

Good luck to all of you and you will all be in my prayers.

Awww Leatha, not you too! Hopefully the liquids will solve this for you. Please keep us posted. Hugs to you!

My best wishes go out to all 3 of you, as well as Leatha.

I wish you all the best, ~Kelly

My gosh, I've been through such hell of my own the past month, then brand new heartache over one of my furbabies that this just hit me like a ton of bricks. Ladies, please know you're in my heart, it's just that my heart is broken right now and numb. Michelle, are you & 'Cesca having removal together? I'm so sorry for being absent, but trust me when I say it's with good reason. All my love to you girls who have been my friends and strength throughout my own band journey.

im thinking of u all

hope it all goes well

Thinking of you all three as you go in for your surgeries and sending prayers to make you stronger.

Just wanted to add my prayers and positive vibes to those all being sent.

Sending all of you my love and best wishes. I'm thinking of you all - please come back as soon as you are up to it and let us know how you're doing.

(((hugs)))

From what I read on another board....Sue is out of surgery and is doing well.

Thanks, Vera. Any word on Michelle or Francesca? I talked to both of them last night and Francesca said she'd have hubby Dave post. DAVE, talk to us!

Erosion Anxiety Girl, Lisa (see other thread.)

Wishing you all a speedy recovery. I hope you're all safe and sound in your recovery rooms and headed home to us soon. Please keep us posted on your status. My stomach has been in nervous knots all day for you ladies!

Thinking of you all, hope your recovery is quick.
