Ok, my surgery is scheduled for 12:30 tomorrow. I have to be there at 11:00. They are going to do bloodwork to see if my sinus infection has cleared. I feel fine now.......so keep your fingers crossed that my WBC's are back down to normal!

Today is nothing but Clear liquids. So far, so good. But I have only been awake for 20 minutes.

Lainie

Good Luck to you! That one day of liquids isn't bad at all, that is what I had to do too. Let us know when you are up to it how your surgery went.

Good luck on your surgery. I will be praying for you that all goes well.

Not to take away from your day but I just wanted to remind all that Queen michelle is presentily being banded as we speak. If all goes well she shold be out of surgery by 10:30am Detroit Mich time. Lets keep her in our prayers. I will be going over to hospital to see her around 1pm.

Once again Lainie good luck tomorrow. Its a great adventure. I'm loving the new me.

Greg: I think that is a great idea to go and visit her.

I just wished there was some way we could coordinate a visitation or an angel buddy thingy. You all know what I am talking about.

If you haven't learned by now I love to start something when I feel passionate about it. LOL!! Hence the Vegas Bash and all future ones. LOL!!

Anyone interested? I can start another thread so I don't hijack this one.

GOOD LUCK LAINIE Come back when you feel up to it and post. WHOO HOO!! YOU ARE BANDED!

Good luck Lainie and QueenMichelle!!! Hope all goes very well. Please post an update soon!

Good Luck to both of you! Please post and let us know how you are doing when you can.

I just got home from the hospital.

I got there at 1:30 expecting to see her wide awake and chatting away. But her room was empty. She has the same room and bed I did. They said she was still in recovery. But that all went well. She was scheduled for 8:30 amn surgery. I couldn't stay so as I was leaving they were wheeling her back to the room. So I waited and she woke up and is doing fine. Little sore from the gas but doing well. She had a girlfriend waiting in the surgery lounge so I just stayed till her friend got there. So she looks good and doing well..SHES a BANDSTER NOW lol

And tomorrow Lainie you will be too.. Proud badge to wear. Good Luck. I'd come visit you too yiur just a hair outside my range LOL

How exciting, Lainie! You'll do fine.

Penni and Greg, I think a "bandster angel" program is a great idea. Could we start threads under our states in the local support section?

Good luck you guys!!

Don't forget to take 'before'pics!!

Chantal

Good luck! I'll be thinking of you.
