Well, it is 4 more hours and I will be on the banded side... I can hardly believe that this journey is truly about to start. It seemed like it was a long time away when I first started and I remember everyone saying it would be here before I knew it and they were so right!!

I am of course quite anxious, didn't sleep really well last night my mouth has absolutely no moisture in it at all ...lol but I am ok and I will be fine, I know that.

I had a wonderful pre-op visit with Dr. Cobourn and Yes I did get pics with him!! The staff were all terrific and what a wonderful Clinic!! I asked if I could just move in!! lol Rose said there are lots of beds upstairs, -=chuckles=- Dr C said yes but you will get surgery if you are in them...lol I said I guess I will just have to keep moving around!! And hey some of that surgery I might need after this weight loss. Which to date as of yesterday is 22 pounds!! (I will change my ticker later)

So Everybody, please keep me in your thoughts at noon today (ontario time) and I will see you on the banded side shortly.

Shouldn't take me long to walk on over!!!

Welcome LeslieLee

Thanks Donna D, I am soooooooooooo glad to be hear!! -=now to stop burping, lol=-

I'm not so sure about this burbing......After I eat I go on a major burping spree. I wonder if it is happening to others. I was banded on April 26 and still do this. I hope it passes. I wonder if it is from all that chewing. Imagine how much air adds up in there???
