Guess What? I Passed!

OMG, I wen to PMRI to see the dietician and get my final weigh in before surgery. I had to drop 8lbs in order to "pass" the class. Guess what? I did it, I dropped 8 lbs exactly! I was so excited and happy that I welled up with emotion. I was so scared that I would be a pound or so over. Then, yesterday afternoon, I went to Dr. Irgau's fro my pre-op visit(they still didn't have any phone service and I was given incorrect directions to the new office.....anyway....). Earlier this week, I wasn't even thinking about the surgery.......after yesterday, I can't stop! Next Monday 8/16 is my new birthday! heeeheeeeheee, I'm so tickled! Angie

Congratulations!!!!! I am happy for you, and I will have you in my thoughts and prayers for 8/16. Take care Dana

Angie, I told you you could do it! You go girl!! Monday will be here before you know it! Love, Kathleen

Hey Angie, Congrats girl!!!! Your on your way See ya on the loser's bench

Great news Angie! Congrats.. you will do wonderfully!

Angie, Congrats!!!! You must be just so thrilled today!!! Hugs, Kimberly

Angie that's great! I know how terrifying those scales can be when you life is (literally) hanging on their balance. YOU DID IT! I have an appointment on 8/16 with Brett. I will definitely be asking about you. Thinking about the surgery non-stop is good, you are thinking, listing and re-thinking all the things you need to do and that is total preparation. Listing worked for me very well. I had issues with my dog and children, etc. I typed up a detailed list about who was doing what and where there were opportunities for all to help me and distributed that and everyone's tele#'s to each other and it worked beautifully. There was an evening that noone was assigned to let the doggie out so they made calls amongst themselves and took care of it. I didn't even have to be consulted. I am being teased tremendously about the list, though. If I ask my ex or sister or daughter, etc a question they answer, "Oh, I didn't see that on the list" or "where exactly on the list was that one"! Take care, Angie. You will do well, believe it or not the hardest part is over. Dianne

Way to go, Angie! I'm glad you got the news you deserve. Valerie

Angie, How wonderful!!! I am so happy for you and excited for you!!! Monday will be here before you know it!!! Hugs, Tammy
