also counting down

Hi.I am very excited myself.My surgery is Aug.4th 2004 with Dr.Halmi. I am nervous too.But very excited. My oldest just left today for a summer job out of state...then she goes right back to college for her last year. Though she knows I am having the surgery.....I can't wait for her to see her "new mom" next time we see each other. As time goes on..I get antsier...I also want tothrow my old clothes out. But, I want to make sure nothing happens to my date. Seems to good tobe true. I can't wait until July 6th, because reality will hit as that is the first day I start with all the side appts. Mary

It will be here before you know it. Good point about throwing clothes out and the surgery date being cancelled. I never thought of that before I tossed out a bunch of clothes that I was never going to wear again. Hopefully our dates dont get changed. Patty

Congtats on your date! I have not thrown out cloths yet. Thought about it. All the winter stuff. We dont really have much winter, but I do travel to cold places so have a bunch. Marla

That is great, and I know you are real excited. Not much time left! Unfortunately, as of today, I have to change from the August group to the October group...... Best of luck to ya! Susan

hi mary,congrats" on your date! i have already started throwing clothes out because my date is aug 24th and i know i will have lost enough wt. before winter to never have to wear those ugly things ever again.thank god for wls i will become a shopaholic

Dear kATHY L., I really appreciate the support. I only sporadical hear from people. I do not have family close by..soit is extra nice to hear back from people. I hope your journey is going well also. I had a yard sale today.....it went ok.But, last night when I was prepping, it didt take long for my back to hurt. And again today as I was putting some things that didn,t sell away. I also have been having issues with my hsyterectomy inscion amongst things. I know once I have the Gastric Bypass...it will in the long run help issues such as that. One whole month to get through....can,t wait. Thank you for your kindness in taking time to wish me well. Mary
