SO happy and excited for those with surgeries comming up.

I tell you this past month and a few days went a lot faster then the month leading up to surgery. I thought it would never get here. It was worse then a kid waiting for Christmas. The only anticipation I can relate it to, was probably being pregnant and waiting for the time for the birth. I know it isn't the same thing, but as adults there just aren't that many things that we "can't wait" to have happen in our lives. So this band surgery was a very big deal to me and I feel like it was like being giving a new life. or at least a new chance at life. Am I making any sense this morning?

Thank you all (((HUGS))))

Pretty cool. Did I see you are getting banded in Nashville, TN?

I posted a thread saying I will be in town from the 1st of April through the 20th for family visits. I would love to meet you if you want. Let me know. You can PM me.

OOPS my bad. It says Memphis, TN. Well I might be able to swing there for a visit. I have lots of time on my hands.

Penni ~ Thanks for the offer but I think Memphis is further than you think it is like 3 hours from Nashville. It would be great to meet you but thats alot of extra driving for you!
