Pam, your surgery is just a week away! Sept. 21 is just around the corner. Sending you best wishes and (((hugs))) for a safe trip, uneventful surgery, and quick recovery.

Pam - Marie is right, it is right around the cornier. I bet you are getting excited huh? Good Luck, and do keep us posted.

Good luck, Pam!!! Hope everything goes well for you!

awwwww thanks so much you guys! <wiping a tear>

I'm half packed, and excited to the point that I can't sleep.

I managed to barter with work to cover their shortage of staff by working today so I could have saturday night off, as if I'll be any more rested (but at least my feet won't be killing me).

I can't believe how fast this has all come together, I've been researching WLS for soooo long, and it seems like once I decided lap-band was for me... WOOSH, time has grown wings!

This is going to be a whole series of firsts for me, my first plane ride, my first border crossing, my first trip alone as adults with my mom whom I have a blast with, my first solid step toward getting my physical self back...

I've worked on getting the house in shape, caught up the laundry, shopped for what I think I'll be needing, and now I'm wishing I'd saved to buy a laptop to take so I could email home, (and you all of course).

Thanks again to all of you for all your openness, kindness, and freely shared truths and opinions. I hope I can give back even a touch of what you all have given me.

You planned this perfect! You'll be feeling downright "spiffy" by the time that first grandbaby gets here in November. Congratulations!

We'll be waiting to hear about your "banding journey". You'll do fine!:mad:

Pam, you'll do wonderfully! Soon you'll be a loser just like the rest of us!! :mad:

You will be fine. I remember my first plane trip and I was so nervous. I just couldn't believe the beautiful clouds I saw that day. Enjoy your ride, and you will be home before you know it.

Betty

Best wishes Pam on your upcoming surgery.

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go! I leave in the wee hours for the airport, preops tomorrow, surgery the day after. I've taken all of your advise to heart, packed all the suggested items, and feel like I'm in good shape thanks to all of you.

You all will be amongst the first to hear how it goes, and here's hoping it all goes well!

<I'm sooo excited!>

Thanks again for everything, you all are the best!

Have a safe trip, and let us know how you are when you feel up to it. I know you are excited and nervous at the same time.

Good Luck!
