Finally my day has arrived.:cursing: I go in for my band at 5am and have surgery at 7:30am. I am so excited I can't stand it. I have been waiting 2 years for this. Since Tricare just approved this year. I was 1 week out from surgery in 2006 in they denied me. So all my work is finally going to be rewarded. I've been doing really good on my pre-op diet, I've lost 16 lbs so far:smile: and surgery is June 16th. So far, so Good. Please say a prayer for me that everything goes well in surgery.

Thanks for all of you out there posting---it has helped tremendously. I will post again when I've bounced back from surgery. Thanks again all you bandsters. I will join you in band land tomorrow.

Thanks, Leah:lol:
