started feb 21, with 1st consultation...have had to have EGD, Gallbladder removed, psych evaluation, dietary consult, support group meetings every month, keep a 6 month food journal, 6 month exercise journal, and 6 monthly weigh ins......and finally i got the call yesterday...september 11....johnson city, tn, with dr. hodge...it seemed like it was going to take forever when i started, but having to do all this stuff monthly made it fly by....i am excited, and terrified all at the same time...i don't feel prepared for some reason....well, i would say part of it is the fact that they said it would be mid to end october, and then all of a sudden it's like, less than 3 weeks away...i am also getting a hiatal hernia repair when i have the lapband...anybody know how you feel after one of those? i have no clue...congrats to everyone on their surgery dates....

If you could, I am not artistic in the least, could you make me a banner with my name Deborah on it? I love your face, it looks so beautiful and exotic, but even if you could just add 2008. Actually I have to admit, I printed your banner to show my Psych Consult dude. And I am ashamed to admit I am going to put it on my computer at work. I love the Samurai. I need to become the Samurai and for once in my life I need to fight and win! As nice as it looks on the web, it looks fantastic in print.

Please forgive me for stealing your banner. I will let everyone know that it is your beautiful face, mine would be wrinkled and old. Might make a whimpy Samurai picture. Debbie
