Hello Everyone! I've recently received my surgery date of 3/25/09, so now I'm in the process of test, test, test, and getting ready for my one-on-one doctor visit. This is a great website with so much usefull information that it is a bit overwhelming at times. Thanks for the support!

Hi JodyLynne and welcome. Looks like you are having your surgery on my birthday. Congratulations on getting a date!! You are so right about this being a great site!! I love it. Before my surgery I was on here a lot and boy did I learn a lot!! There are lots of nice people here who can help answer your questions, address your concerns, and offer great support. I have made some really good friends here. Good luck to you during all of your testing. Time will fly by and you will be banded before you know it. Take good care of yourself and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Becky
