I had bloodwork done today. I go in on 4/17 for my Preop with surgeon... if I have lost 5-10 pounds they said they wont put me on a pre op diet.. currently I have lost more than that but it's almost that time of the month so I am gonna balloon up any second I hope they realize that :rolleyes2:

Well it's 1 week & counting, starting to get a little nervous :tongue: but I just came back from the support group meeting tonight now I'm back to excited. Guess I'll just be glad when the surgery/recovery phase is over with. Anyway good luck to everyone & keep in touch.
