It's REAL now!!! I HAVE a date!!!

June 16 I could have had the 9th or 23rd. or near July 4. But I REALLY wanted sooner in a way. Much going on at work with a very ill supervisor. July 4 holiday would have been perfect.... but it's so long away! And 16 has always been one of my favorite numbers! So I choose that one!! I should remember it anyway! It's real to me now. I really wouldn't allow myself to believe that until I had a date. Now I have to somehow tell my 100 lb. twin sister!! I pray she will understand, but I don't think she will. I will tell no one else at work. In total 3 people will know there. Tonight I am feeling excited, scared....such a roller coster.... Good new though - since I am low BMI I will only need to be on bariatriac food for 1 week prior, then the same after for 2 weeks (puddings, soups etc..no bars yet). Pray my blood pressure stays down! I'm fed-up with my PCP (long story there), and should have more meds.......... Prayers appreciated .... Anyone else having Lap-Band on June 16??

Congrats on being one step closer to the losing side. What part of West Mi do you live in? I am in Dowagiac about 45 mins SW of Kalamazoo. Stacy

YAY!!! Congratulations to you! I too felt like it wasn't real until I had a date. June 16th sounds like a perfect day to me!

Thanks! I live in a tiny town exactly 1/2 way between GR and Kzoo. K - congrats on the date!! We will both be June babies!! Just came back from 2 wks. in Maui! LOVE Hawaii. Yes, start your own banders group!! I may do the same.
