:clap2: To all the members of this terrific group-THANK YOU! I started asking dorky questions in April and now I have my surgery date! August 4th will be my new birthday!

You all have been patient, informative, fun and gracious. I've freaked out and you gave me strength and hope. I've asked crazy questions that to a seasoned bandster would seem slightly insane but you all have answered with patience and humor.

To the moderators-you run a wonderful board. As an ex list moderator I know how hard it is. You sure can't please everybody at all times!

I'm not going anywhere so this isn't ciao. I just wanted to know I don't take LBT for granted and to say thanks.

This board has given me advice and information I couldn't have gotten anywhere else including my doctors.

So I am on my way-making my list of foods/drinks/vitamins etc. I am both scared and excited!

My surgery is 6:30 am. I just hope the surgeon is awake!!!!

Hey Diva and welcome from Texas. proud for you on your band date and you will love it. There are no dorky questions asked. If you are doing smothing wrong we will tell you and if you are working with the band we will praise you. How's that? The best of luck to you and keep us posted.:clap2:

I am one of the dorks too. And I too, am greatful for the wonderful responses I have gotten here.

Good luck diva!

I am getting close to and can't stop the butterflies everytiem I think of it.

Diva - Wish I would have found this site before surgury so I could have prepared myself better. Doing well though. Glad you have your date. I know things will go well for you! Good luck.

The very best information I got from this site was "your shoulder hurts because it is gas.....be sure to have xxtra strengh gas x at home after surgery" and "walk walk walk"

Now I see that people say to clean yorself out by using citrate magnesium before surgery and that will keep down on the gas.

Thanks LBT

Best Wishes Diva

Thanks guys-I am writing down the hint about the citrate magnesium now to add to my ever growing list of "to buy".

Love you all

My surgery is 6:30 am. I just hope the surgeon is awake!!!!

His tee time is 7:30 am so the good news is you won't be in the O.R. very long so he won't be late.

:heh:

Congratulations on your band date diva!! :clap2: Things will really fly by from here on out. I am thrilled for you and like you, I am so thankful to be part of this community. Just like a big family....we don't always agree, but we are here to support each other no matter what. Your not alone on the dorky questions either. We are all a bunch of dorks in one way or another. :heh:
