Smokey,

Well, this is it! You are the first of our Feb banders to take the plunge.

I cannot wait to hear your surgery report. Remember: we don't expect you to hop back and post away but when you are up to it, just a quick note that tells us you are fine. You can even just send one of us a message and we will post it here.

I hope you have an easy surgery and recovery. I just know you are going to ROCK THAT BAND!

Best wishes!!

Justplaintired

Thinking of u Smokey! Speedy recovery!

Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery!

Girl, I know you are going to ROCK this!! :drum:

Elle.. LOVE the drummer dude! I'm a music FREAK!! Awwww...thanks guys..

Yah, I'm SO EXCITED!!!! But I do have in the back of my head him going in

there and then not doing the surgery! I haven't stuck "completely" to the liquid diet but i'm just having some protein..real meat..almost everyday since Sunday.. which I think is still fine according to "how to shrink your liver" So we'll see. I'm sure it will be fine..and I'm just being paranoid.. hell I haven't had a damn drink in over 2 weeks so that's an accomplishment in itself.. But thanks everyone I'm really really excited.

I'm still waiting for them to call me back for my pre-registration.. hopefuly I go in at like 10am and not 4am! That's too damn early! What should I bring to the hospital?

Good Luck with your surgery!!!

They called earlier to tell me to be at the hospital at 10:30!!:Banane09: At least I can drop of my youngest at school and then go to the grocery store to pick up a few things for the kids while I'm gone..come home shower and be on my way! So nice to have a teenager..usually it isn't.. he's picking up my youngest from school and babysitting for me so I know they'll be A-OK! I'm so excited!! I hate needles though..

Good luck smokey, you'll do amazing!

Best of luck Smokey...keep us posted!!!

Rock on girlfriend!

Peace~

YAY! Congrats!! I think that pain might be gas pain? Did they tell you? Poor thing. I am glad to hear you are all done and well. Can't wait to watch as you go through your journey, Smokey! It's just the beginning, but wow, of a whole new chapter...heck, a whole new book!!

Glad you made it through surgery ok except for the shoulder blade thing. Please keep us up to date on your progress.
