I went to see my surgeon on Wednesday, and Monday a.m. is the big day. I have to be at the surgical center at 7 in the morning, and it is just over an hour's drive without rush-hour traffic, so I will have to be up around 4:30 in the morning or so. It will be a long day!

I keep thinking of all the things that need to be done between now and then, so I haven't had time to worry a lot yet. I still have quite a bit of work to do so that my co-workers can complete my portion of the newspaper for me, need to do some laundry, and make a meal for my kids that my oldest daughter can just pop in the oven Monday evening. Oh yeah, and I need to try the ticker thing again!

I have had my gall bladder removed and that was a breeze, so I have high hopes for this one -- praying there are no complications with the band though -- as a single mom, I don't have time to deal with wierd stuff!

So, if all goes well, I will update Monday night/Tuesday morning.

Hey there- congrats on the surgery coming up on Monday!!! I will be having surgery on the 14th!!! I wish you the best of luck- keep me posted.

take care

Congratulations, Hope all goes well for you. I have been on this incredible journey for 10 1/2 months now and have lost 106 lbs. and wouldn't change a thing. Good luck you will do well!!!

Best wishes Vicking!!!!! Good luck questions09 too.... OMG ok813 you inspire me!! I was banded June 29 and It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am getting my third fill this Monday. I am looking forward to being a little tighter again. I am glad it (the weight loss) goes slow. My body has lost 50 pounds for sure and more as I will get weighed tomorrow. Best wishes to you I was also banded on a Monday. All will go well.

THANK YOU!!!!! Eight more hours, and here I sit at the computer writing one last story for the newspaper..... thank goodness I have time off to catch up on my sleep!!! It will be tricky tomorrow -- one of my daughters came home from her dad's with high fever, cough, stuffy nose, headache etc. Oldest daughter is staying home from school to car for the little one and we are still working out the details to figure out just how we can get her to the doctor tomorrow.
