I beat you my date is June 2nd Man I don't know how I am going to do it, I am on the cancellation list also BUT I quess so is everybody else. Well I am going on vacation on May 21st so that should help some. Although I had hoped to be a few pounds lighter by then. My surgery will be a Medical College of Virginia, my doctor is Dr. DeMaria.

hey annette you do beat me but i'll be right on your heels :]. yours should go by really fast b/c your going on vacation so your end time will just buzz by. anyway have you started preparing like shopping for things you'll need in the hospital and after? i have, i've picked up a couple of things and today i'm thinking i might go on my lunch and pick up some chewable vitamins. i like to be prepared and just in case i do get called by surprise with a cancellation i will not have to scramble around like a chicken without a head. if you get called for a cancellation will you postpone your vacation? anyway i'm going to get to work now, God bless you with life, health, and strength before and after. moneice

I'm a June loser too. Isn't it great and exciting. I'm June 2nd also so I'll be right there with you guys. I know the feeling of running around and feeling like you're going nuts. I've gotten the vitamins already and for that matter even started them. They weren't too tasty to begin with (actually they made me want to , but I'm getting used to them. Of course the rest will be nice once the surgery is done but I can't wait until I'm up partying again and being able to jump around Debbie

Debbi, I know every doctor is different but my surgeon says that we don't have to use chewable vitamins. She said that certain brands are small enough to swallow with no problems. I know she mentioned wal-greens brand and Target brand. THe only catch was I will probably have to take extra iron because the small ones don't have as much. That's fine by me though since I can only stomach Slow Fe anyway. Luckily they are super small. ;) Tasha
