Topic: RE: How are the other July 3rd babies doing?
Hi Jennifer,
Congratulations on the being on the other side!!! The mending side that is, I too had my surgery July 3rd, and I must say everyday it gets easier and easier to move around , I even ventured out for a drive. I can't stand sittting around drives me nuts, so the fresh air is doing good!! I even stepped on the scale and I have lost 37# so far( including a week diet before the operation.) So again, congratulations and good luck sweetie is so nice to touch bases with someone on the same rebirth day......

Careful what you wish for... I am kinda wishing I still had 9 days to go... For me, the long wait seems to have flown by, and it'll be monday before I know it! 7:30 am July 14 is my time of renewal and I am so worried that I wont have everything done and ready, or with me when I go to the hospital...And now, look, Saturday is gone... one more day, and a wake up... ~Cyndi

Dear Pamela,
OMG I know how you feel.. I was suppose to have my surgery the first of July, then at 4:30 the afternoon of the June 30th,my insurance company's subsiduery sent my file to review for what was to be 30 days they said.. now mind you I had already had the offical word I was approved my the main group. I was there getting ALL of my pre-op test finished, and the last minute questions were answered , I was on a full liquid diet for 3 days and clear liquid diet for 2 days.I was to check into the hospital at 5:30AM.. then this happen to me, I was so devestated..
Then out of the BLUE I recieved the call Friday I am approved now for ALL OF THEM !!! I am to go in now at 8:30 AM the 21of July and surgery at 10:30 AM or there abouts, could be a bit earler.. SO now I have 9days till surgery..
SO I know how excieted you are about now.. I have been catching up all the laundry, dusting, going through cloths, and getting the linnens all changed on all the beds, so that they can be changed again before I leave for surgery next monday again.

Thats right, I am complaining!!!! I have been waiting since October of last year to have my surgery. Now its only 9 more days till surgery. I am nerveous, but excited. I have been trying to keep myself busy, but I can sleep, but I sure can eat right now. I have lost 40 pounds since I first seen my surgeon, but I know I have gain at least 14 back. Just thinking about not being able to eat like I use to after surgery. I have cleaned my house from top to bottom and now I am just sitting here waiting. I think it was a mistake to start counting down the days for me. That is all I am obessed with you can say. I can tell you I only have 5 days of work till I am off for 3 weeks to recover. I am determined not to be out any longer than 3 weeks. I have a great bunch of ppl at work. They are all excited for me, but some are like, you lost 40 pounds on your own, why do u need surgery? Of course that comes from the skinny ppl. I tell them I want this more than anything. I want to be healty, I want to be able to take my kids on a vacation. I want to be able to walk around without the pain on my knees. Am I asking to much? Sometimes I wonder if this is right for me. But I know what God is doing, if it wasn't meant to be then he could and would stop it at any time. I guess I will just sit here and hurry up and wait!!!! Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement from everyone and a special "thank you" to Dana, from Pace. Your wls wannabe, ~PAMELA~
