Hi Michelle, My surgery is July 3rd. Upstate Ny and i'm as excited as you are...Wishing you a speedy recovery...Dorothy

I can't wait to have this surgery! I am accepting any and all prayers for a successful surgery with a happily ever after to follow (in other words, no problems!), and I offer the same to all the other July patients. I feel good about this decision. To be honest, I'm only worried about those darn blood gases I have to have done on Friday! Best wishes to all of you!

Hello fellow July 10thers! I am having lap RNY surgery on July 10th too. Good luck with your surgery and we should all say a prayer for each other that morning! Lori

6/19/03...What a blessed day, my journery is approaching this is what we standarly call count down time......for the marvlous journey to the other side of the fit and healthly ........I would like to applaud my "ANGEL" Nannette Bryant she is such a wonderful God filled, up lifting holly ghost bound person she has trully touched my heart....also Tina Rubio follows suit as well . Expressions: feelings, emotions,nervousness are trully working with me. I know its to be expected that goes with my real human feelings which are indeed normal . I will post my picture sometime next week...I'm ready and set to go, its the waiting that keeps you on pens and needles... I will be posting about every 2 to 3 days up until july 1, 03..............there after my "Angel" Nannette will proceed with informing everyone with my progress.........Blessings, from Christine

I'm also having surgery on July 7th. Dr. Sweeney and Dr. Fisher will be officiating at my rebirth in Houston, TX. I'm so anxious and I can't stand the wait. After spending so much time trying to get approved for the surgery, it seems like this waiting period is taking FOREVER. Good luck ... see you on the losing side.
