diva 0 Posted July 12, 2006 :clap2: To all the members of this terrific group-THANK YOU! I started asking dorky questions in April and now I have my surgery date! August 4th will be my new birthday! You all have been patient, informative, fun and gracious. I've freaked out and you gave me strength and hope. I've asked crazy questions that to a seasoned bandster would seem slightly insane but you all have answered with patience and humor. To the moderators-you run a wonderful board. As an ex list moderator I know how hard it is. You sure can't please everybody at all times! I'm not going anywhere so this isn't ciao. I just wanted to know I don't take LBT for granted and to say thanks. This board has given me advice and information I couldn't have gotten anywhere else including my doctors. So I am on my way-making my list of foods/drinks/vitamins etc. I am both scared and excited! My surgery is 6:30 am. I just hope the surgeon is awake!!!! :notagree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ousooner 1 Posted July 12, 2006 Diva - Wish I would have found this site before surgury so I could have prepared myself better. Doing well though. Glad you have your date. I know things will go well for you! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teresita 0 Posted July 12, 2006 The very best information I got from this site was "your shoulder hurts because it is gas.....be sure to have xxtra strengh gas x at home after surgery" and "walk walk walk" Now I see that people say to clean yorself out by using citrate magnesium before surgery and that will keep down on the gas. Thanks LBT Best Wishes Diva Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diva 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks guys-I am writing down the hint about the citrate magnesium now to add to my ever growing list of "to buy". Love you all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
