11/17/03 can't come soon enough!

I just got my date last week and I am so psyched! I am awaiting insurance approval but it doesn't seem there will be a problem. I have lost 15 pounds in the last month, 22 over all and my surgeon said it will be enopugh as long as I don't gain...but I am still going to lose more!!! It hasn't been so hard losing it in preparation for this surgery, I really don't want it to be open if it doesn't have to be. My best friend noticed my weight loss today (we live a distance and only see each other once every few months) and that meant a lot because (aside from me) she was the saddest to see me gain so much. We used to be so skinny! She's 5'5 and 160 but I think she looks pretty damn good for 5 kids! I know I'm rambling, I'm sorry...just so excited and my mind is racing!! Wendy

Wendy, it is exciting and there seems to be a million things to do and think about before surgery. Congratulations on your date.
