Welcome, Leigh. I'm not too far away from you (Texarkana). 4'10", eh? I thought we grew 'em a little bigger than THAT here in Texas......heehee. Good luck with your band.

Hi Leigh! Welcome to LBT! How did you like the Emotional First Aid Kit book? I considered ordering that one, but my surgeon's office recommended a couple of others, so I bought them instead.

Your surgery date is coming fast. Good luck!

Hi. Welcome. Your surgery is coming up soon.

Yay!

I am waiting on the call with my date! I told the nurse I didn't want surgery until around the 15th because I work in a school and we aren't out until the 6th, then my son's 18th birthday is the 10th, so didn't want to be laid up for that. You are only about 2 weeks away from yours. Are you havign to do any pre-op diet?

yea I don't blame you for wanting to wait

my daughter turns 18 this year

the last in my nest...bittersweet lemme tell ya..lol

I go for my pre-op on the 21st

I have a 10 day diet

been told the first 3 days are awful

but after that it's ok

I can't wait to get all this on a physical roll

all the paper junk is done

and I'm soooo ready
