Hey Brina isn't that the Washington DC suburban county that had the sniper shootings a few years back? Shame for such a pretty place to be known for that alone. Hey no place is immune, several years ago someone in my county (Knox County Ohio;) a guy killed 3 people and stuffed their bodies in a hollow tree. The sick joke that went around: What is he?A demented Keebler elf? Needless to say he is now a permanent guest,of the penal system and never will be released.
Hey now that I've brought that up, wanna be surgery buddies? If so here are a few of my basics. 5ft8in, BMI 45, having a RnY early to Mid March, all my prerequirements in just waiting for letter or call-back from my surgeon's office. I will be
having my surgery at Mount Carmel,in Columbus our state capital. I'm in it to win it , at the age of 72. Ash me any questions you might want to know, if I don't have an answer someone on Bariatric Pal will.

Hi Hilarym!!! I live in New Carrollton, not far from Bowie. I’m having surgery at Holy Cross. How about you?

[hilarym84 1]

I'm having mine at Anne Arundel Medical Center. I go in to hopefully get my date the same day as your surgery. How are you feeling about it at this point?

Im nervous and excited at the same time. I’m not looking forward to the liquid diet. But honestly overall I’m happy to start my new life. How are you feeling?

[hilarym84 1]

I'm excited and so ready to begin this leg of my journey, although maybe I'll feel differently when it's a few wks away!

[hilarym84 1]

No, it’s normally 6 months. I had some complications and a death in my family so I fell behind in meeting some of the requirements.

Hi!! How exciting sure we can be wls. How are you feeling?

[MzReality 3]

Yay!! Girl things are rough. Trying to be great is not as easy as people make it seem. I’m stocking up on liquids because i start my liquid diet on 3/5 so every time I’m at a store i grab a few things. How is everything going with you?

[Brina1980 24]

You ain’t never lie. Lol it’s hard in these streets. But just take it one step at a time. I start my liquid diet on Feb 13. So far things are going well but I had a rough start in the beginning.
