Pre-Surgery Appiontment Brings Two Old Friends Back Together

[kbliss78 123]

I went for my pre-opt with the surgeon. He does a small group first to discuss the process and then meets individually with all the patients. While in the group meeting, I heard someone call out another patient. I heard the name and it flagged an old memory. I looked down the table and saw my very best friend from middle school. I have not seen her in 15 years. We began to cry and are so excited to share this journey with a friend. It is so crazy we crossed paths again. We each moved long away from out home town and had different paths. We found out we each had two children the same ages. We have supportive hubbies regarding the surgery! We are so excited. We are scheduled the SAME DAY for surgery!

Now I have all of my LBT buddies and a old friend. I think I was meant to cross paths with her again. Some of my foundest childhood memories are with that girl!

Just had to share....

That is awesome!! It makes it much easier when you have someone that understands what you are going through. Me and my best friend started the journey together. She had to complete a 6 month diet, I didn't so I'm going to be about 3 months ahead of her when she gets hers done....but thats ok...I told her that way I have already worked all the kinks out and she will know what to do.---

Some things are just meant to be...I don't believe in coincidences.

What a fantastic emotional support system you are starting your journey with...best of luck to you both!
