Are there 3 of us having surgery next week?

I am on Tues. Dec. 9th.  Leaving for SF on Saturday.  I think I am prepared -- Lauren called me today and they needed a bunch of my test results.  I emailed my PCP from Kaiser and she responded in 1 hour!  She is the best Kaiser doc ever!

I think HiGurl is next week also, and there is someone else right? 

Three in one week -- that seems big for our little but mighty group! 

Anyway -- I just want to thank everyone for all the pre-surgery support -- I have learned so much from everyone.  Looking forward to being a big loser!

yes that is a lot for a lil bunch of us islanders...........good luck to all!!!

So much excitement for our little forum!! I love it! Best to everyone!
((hugs))

Good luck and safe travel to you. I am also having surgery next week and am so excited to be taking care of me and getting healthy but I am scared as well.  HiGurl and I will be having surgery on the same day.  I will pray and send out all good thoughts to you and all of us on this board.  I am so grateful I found this way of support.  Good luck.  Sara

Try not to be scared, Sara. You need the power of positive energy now to help and heal you. Believe in what you're doing and in the hands of your surgeon. This can make a world of difference in your recovery. ((hugs)) We're all with you!

Thank you for all the hugs.   I am more excited than scared but I am so glad that I am taking the steps to be healthy.  Thank you for all of your wonderful comments.  Sara

Good luck to you Sara and Keala and i guess to myself too huh???  LOL...anyways thanks for the words of encouragement Makena...i must say i always listen to ur advicee..thanks

To those of you having your surgeries next week I am sending you warm wishes of a safe surgery and an quick recovery!!  If you need anything I am here to help.  Have a great week.

Ginger you are going to the Christmas Party on Wednesday right?  I was just going to make a tofu salad or bring soybeans.  What are you bringing?

I am going to the party but I haven't decided what to bring yet.  On the lapband forum I asked for recipes and got some good ones so I might bring something from there.  I am not very good at the whole vegetarian thing.  I might just bring a cheese tray since dairy is okay.  But I will definately be there.
