I have a date - 05 August 2005!

I have a date - 05 August 2005! I live in Savannah, but the surgery will be in Atlanta.

congratulations!!! you are having surgery three days before me!!! sara

WOOHOO!!! Congratulations! The first week in August is going to be a busy one with all of us beginning our new lives! What a great time to have it, too. The end of bathingsuit season. Did I say "bathingsuit"? I haven't seen one of those for YEARS! Best of Luck to you all, Becca

Thanks very much! I was actually hoping to have the surgery at the end of winter, not the end of summer! But oh well, at least it is finally going to be done! Well, I am actually brave enough to don bathing trunks even now, I usualy go to the pool nearly everyday to walk in the pool and get some excercise. It seems I actually go more without a shirt now, then I did 15-20 yeas ago when I weighed 177 and had a 33 inch waist. I guess with age comes attitude "I don't care what everyone else thinks, I am going to do what I need to do, or want to do" *chuckle* Although, I may never get back to 177, I will be more than happy to even get back to anywhere near 200! One thing I have not asked anyone about is how many pints of Guinness can I have after the surgery?? *chuckle* I am originally from Ireland. Peace and Mazel Tov on your surgery dates...

My other reply was meant for you too -- I didn't get your reply in my inbox, but I did the other one... Anyway 08/08 will be a good day for you, as that is my puppy's birthday, well that is an old dog now, he will be 13 this year! Did you or anyone else have to have a family member fill out a like 10 page questionnaire by a relative or spouse??? One has to be submitted before I can have the surgery -- I think it is some sort of protection against malpractice, even if they do not come out and say this! Good luck! Riain

Congrats Riain!!!! Good Luck and keep in touch!!! Lori August
