Boo 3 Posted April 3, 2006 Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow morning for my surgery on Wednesday. :whoo: Thank you everyone for all of the information, ideas, suggestions, experiences, and insight. I've read many of your posts, and am extremely grateful to all of you for being so honest and supportive. Although we are strangers, we seem to have a common understanding. I'm a bit nervous and question my choice, but because of what I have read here, I feel I have the courage to do this. Thank you all! Lisa p.s. Goodbye, Diet Coke! :cry :violin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boo 3 Posted April 8, 2006 Thank you SOOO much for the encouragement! I am doing great! Dr. Ortiz' new surgical center is beautiful. And the care I received was very thorough. I am not really having that much pain. Don't even need any pain medicine. I'm just tired. Yesterday, my husband and I walked all around the costco in TJ. That was fun. And today we drove home, rented DVD's and am enjoying popsicles, chicken broth, and warm cider. Good luck everybody! I met so many women coming in for fills that were banded a year ago. They seemed so happy. Each of them said it was the best thing they had ever done for themselves. (Other than marry, etc.) Please don't be scared! It really is not so bad! We are being courageous to make a better, healthier life for ourselves! Lisa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
