Let's all give them a great big team shout out for best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!

The dugout and the stands are going wild!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much. I finish up my pre-surgery work schedule with not too much the next two days followed by a morning of court on Wednesday before taking the afternoon off and getting ready to drive to Richmond. I'll be recovering at my parents' house in the area, and I assure you all that I will be well connected to Internet and updating you. Heck, I hope to be like some others who manage an update the evening of my surgery date!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm getting nervous, surgery on Friday 12th. I'm scheduled to see the nutritionist, surgeon, and have my breathing test on Thursday. Usually you do this 2 weeks prior to surgery. I'm sure I'll be glad to see them on Thursday and then the next morning have surgery. Only bad thing is I don't know what time on Friday my surgery is scheduled for.

Good luck to everyone else this week.

Good luck, fellow sleevers. All the very best, and God bless. See you on the other side...

wow I feel honored - team captain! I have to say I was never good at sports let alone a captain of anything haha!

Mamamckenzie - You are a great announcer and keep us moving along!!

Go team GO!!!

Thanks Meme!

I kinda like it up here in the booth

Thanks for thinking of us. I'm getting excited/nervous about tomorrow's surgery. I'm also trying to stop myself from having second thoughts. Sigh... let's just get this show on the road. Come tomorrow morning at 8 am, I'll be on the table and on my way to a new life!!

Good luck to everyone else who has surgery tomorrow and during the week. You will all be in my prayers.

This was my comment on another post, I mean it enough to copy & paste it!

Good luck to all of you having your surgery this week... I'm so green with envy! I'm on hoop 5 of 6 that I have to jump through for insurance, ahem, oops I meant month 5 of 6 physician supervised visits, ha ha ha. Can't wait to get my date & the excitement that comes the night before that I'm sure you're all experiencing. Can't wait even more for the wonderful life that awaits after. Keep us posted we're living this experience through your words for the next few weeks.

Sad news today. My grandma passed away just last night. I'm alll the way in Louisiana and she's in Philly. Needless to say I am postponing surgery a little while. Hopefully I will be a September sleever. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

I'm so very sorry about your grandma phatgurl80, and the fact that you will need to postpone your surgery must also be very difficult. My heart goes out to you.

PhatGurl - I am so sorry for your loss! Have a safe trip to Philly. Sending prayers.

So sorry to hear about your Grandma but I am glad you are able to go up to Philly. Keep us posted and we will make you an "honorary August All Star"!

Very sorry for your loss, Phatgirl! Keeping all of you starting your new journey in my prayers and thoughts this week!!! Can't wait to hear updates and to make sure you're all okay and doing well!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! Grandma will be laid to rest shortly, but she will forever be with us in spirit. Rescheduled my surgery for the first week in September. Thanks again for everyone's kindness and I'll be sure to keep updating everyone on my Sleeve Journey.

PhatGurl, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. I'm glad you were able to reschedule.

My surgery is today at 10:45 a.m. I thought about taking my laptop to the hospital, but I think I am going to pass on that. Instead, I've loaded up my Kindle.

Good luck to everyone else who is having surgery today as well as throughout this week and month!
