Alexis - must be a popular birthday - it is my 20 year olds, my mothers and my youngest neice (all 3 very similar personalities) - over the years I have met about 6 others with that date. Happy Birthday for then!

MIchelle,

Yes my doctor put his patients on liquids 7 days before surgery. I'm hoping it's not too rough although I'm hearing it is. Are you nervous with only 4 days left? I'm afraid when it gets down to the wire I will be a wreck.

shellyj · August 13, 2003

you know i am really not that nervous, but i am much more emotional. i have had to watch i think i have been irritable lately. and that isnt very fun. for anyone.

i am just really exited and grateful that there is such a tool out there and I actually am going to be able to use it!

if you get nervous this is the place to be!

now if i were having the bypass i would have to be on some major sedatives because it is SO MUCH more everything...

drastic, dangerous, permanent, etc

good luck!

MAN I'M BEHIND BEHIND BEHIND ON POSTING HERE!!!

Alexandra · August 13, 2003

My banding is one week from today!! I'd be a basket case if I weren't totally preoccupied with a weekend trip to Cape Cod. Right now we're supposed to be packing the car and getting all set for a 4:00 a.m. departure.

We're getting back on Sunday and I know that Monday I will be scared, excited and everything else. I'll be here for sure!!!
