Hey Laura, is this going to be a weekly chat or just a 1 x thing that I missed??? Would be interested in a more localized chat as the big OH chat room gets to be pretty overwhelming most of the time. About how many people are on this chat & where do I find you at??? you can e-mail me back at [email protected] to let me know of your location. Thanks & congrats on your surgery too. Joyetta

my surgery date is the 24th , i know the waiting is the hardest part, but , i can hardly contain myself. Good luck and God Bless you. Vicky G.

Hi, guys, I too have a date. September 24. I can hardly think of anything else. I am not really nervous but am doing some practical things like making a will, etc. I will clean my house from top to bottom the weekend before. I hate being sick with a dirty house.

Christina,, my date is 9/4 and i get scared too, scared that i will not be able to ever enjoy food again.. but that passes quickly when i think of how WONDERFUL i will feel again. ! Smile.. you can do it, I know many people that have had this done, and not 1 has been sorry... Hang in there. and good luck. Ricky
