To all -- I dont have my surgery date yet but I do know that any support is good support!.. I have met a few people on line and been with them every step of the way online. Feel free to post here when you are on your way in and when you are on your way out of the hospital.. We are here for you!

Any one being sleeved in the morning? Let's Go! We will be your personal cheerleaders!!!

Yay! I'm home now. For those who asked, my surgeon was John Alexander. Everyone says his a genius, but with that comes things like tardiness, etc. I really do like him, outside of the actual surgery, he's such a sweetheart, that's why I was so surprised on the actual day of surgery. Can't wait to get these staples out.

I'm getting sleeved this Friday, December 21! Anyone else?!

ME ME ME!!!
