New Birthday!

I have an official date of 20 Sep 04! This will be my reborn date, essentially a NEW birthdate! I guess I will start out at 25, ha ha. I have been contiplating surgery for a couple of years, and once I put my mind to it, Fast Burner! Luckily, the military has a lot to do with it. My first appt was Jun 23 . . . three months later, I have a date. I cannot begin to explain how happy I will be to bend over and tie my tennis shoes without passing out AND no more back fat AND no more shelf butt! Oh, the list goes on, but most importantly, living longer and healthier!

Well congrats and I will be sure to wish you a Happy Birthday on the 20th. Welcome to the wonderful September board. I wish you the best of luck with everything. Everything is going to be great. Shannon

Good luck Danielle! I like your thought about a new birthday! I think I will use that myself! Best wishes! Luann pre-op lap RNY 9/14/04 ~I'm still a hot babe. It just comes in flashes ~

Danielle, congrats on your date! We all know exactly how you feel, I'll follow you two days later and am in a constant battle between being totally excited and totally freaked out. Good luck to you! Tracy

I'll be right there with you..... well at least in spirit. Mary from San Antonio here and I will now get to have 2 birthdays in Sept., my surgery date, which is the same as yours 09.22.2004 and my regular birthday 09.07.1967!! I keep fluctuating from scared to death to hyperactive happiness! I'll be thankful for no more gut! I always joked about that I had the noassatall syndrome, a gut and not butt!!!! Well watch out world here I come! Congrats! and hugs, Mary

My surgery has been cancelled, my doc is retiring, so here I go again, starting all over. I will keep you in my prayers though. Sincerely, Mary
