Steph glad things went well for you today. LOL at the 6 month request...too funny! Hope you enjoyed the dinner!! Sounds yummy! I officially start pre-op tomorrow...so here I go! It will suck if the ins approval doesn't come through in time. lol Hope everything goes wonderfully tomorrow and you have a 5 star recovery!! Will be thinking of you!!

Judy - They were talking about starting a facebook page with a different email so friends from here and those who know of your surgery are the only ones who can see it. I wouldn't use my current one since I've not told many people other than my best friends and some family.

if there is a facebook page starting up, can someone please invite me in?? my email addy is chestermanjudith318@gmail.com

Judy I haven't done anything yet. Maybe this weekend, if I get time. I'll let you know. Deb

We just left the house. It's chilly in Dallas this morning and running around in PJS isnt exactly warm! They said wear something comfortable, I took them at their word ;)

Nervous and excited. Good luck to all being banded today....see you on the otherside!

Good Luck D!! I am going in PJs too! The temps dropped last night from 82 to 56 really fast and the wind was horrible so figure its cold out too. Someone must have forgot to pay the electric bill in Texas!

Facebook page!!! I'm on fb exclusive for lap band stuff since I want ready to share w ALL of my "other outside our circle" friends. I think it will be great to speak freely on fb. So start a new account get a new email and let's update each other. My "handle" so to speak is Swee Karma
