hi all!! went today 06-22-06 for my pre op visit and went to the hospital everything went real good for me and surgery will be july 5th at 7am mountain time. I am DR first patient of the day which is good after his week of being off and the holidays. I am so looking forward to it all and sure wish it could come faster now but in the meantime i will wait for the day to arrive. also i have lost another 4 pounds which is great dr only said he would like me to lose 5 before surgery and i should be doing that and maybe a couple more.
