Valentina 2,642 Posted May 25, 2011 I finally received my final approval--finally! :cheer2: :humble::peace: :roll: I am scheduled for surgery for June 6th and was on my pre-op diet on my surgeon's insistance. He said he would get my surgery done and that was that! What do ya know?--a surgeon that says what he means?!! I feel like a real "Jewel of June"--not just a wannabe or fake costume jewelry !! Look out world! The Jewels of June are heading your way!!!!!:car: Valentina :grouphug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valentina 2,642 Posted May 25, 2011 I'm excited and freaked at the same time. At this point the 6th can't get here fast enough so I don't have to drink these sweet drinks for awhile. I love something sour. Valentina :grouphug: CONGRATS!!! you must be so excited!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be with you--only a whisper away.:amen: Good luck staying on the pre-op this weekend.
