I am 6 days away from surgery! Time has gone right before my eyes. I feel like I'm not ready. I am nervous, scared and not much support. Let me correct that, NO support from home right now. I waited for almost a year for this. Cold feet all of a sudden. Oh boy. Any thoughts? Anyone in need of a new Friend?

I'm with ya, i am getting my surgery in the morning, i was told by two of my my cousin's who had the surgery, that egg drop soup was good, had alot of protein from the egg & chicken, i guess we wont know what to eat until we try let me know how things work out. God bless, Jo lynn

Prayers being sent for your surgery and speedy recovery! You have given a child a wonderful second chance at life and now it is your turn. ~Michelle

Hi, I am sure there may be some people still here from last year 6-07 or earlier. I was all ready to have lap band surgery, and almost to my goal weight when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After some thought and alot of praying on my part I decided to have my right breast removed. It's a good thing I did I had stage three agressive cancer. My last chemo treatment was 12-17-07 so it's been two months since then. My hair is coming back, I am back to work driving my school bus, and I feel great. Currently, I have lost 9 lbs of the 22 lbs I need to lose to get all my paperwork sent to my insurance and then I finally get to have the lap-band done. After fighting cancer there is nothing that I can't do anymore. I enjoy every day that I am given and I am very grateful too. Sheryl E.
