Well, tomorrow is another step in the process and something else I can check off . I guess they do bloodwork, x-rays, EKG, barium swallow, and have everyone meet with an exercise physiologist and a dietician. Busy day! Can't wait!

Also, my oldest Army son is coming for a visit tomorrow at 3 pm for the weekend (Columbus Day). :thumbup: I just got back from a quick trip to Florida with my husband (business for him) and saw SO many soldiers in the airport in Atlanta and on the planes. I sat next to one heading to Atlanta from Orlando and felt God was telling me to give him some money for a meal on me. I tried to resist but couldn't! (I tend to be shy) When we were getting off, I passed him some money and told him what it was for and he tried to refuse...I looked him in the eye (mine were tear-filled the entire trip!) and told him how much I missed my boys and would he please have a meal on me and he thanked me . It helped ME so much to do that!

Still no word on the change in my job...that's a tad stressful needless to say .

Oh, one good thing, during my trip I walked more than usual and my "bad" knee held up better than usual!

Can't wait for tomorrow!

I was banded Monday (10/6) - had all that pre-op stuff done a few weeks ago. i hope all went well for you. Good luck with your surgery -
