I HAVE A DATE!!!!! WOO HOO!!

Hi all, I am so happy! I had my consult with the surgeon yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for August 8th 2006. They may move it up if something is able to be done but it is set for now. I am so excited about it and am kind of in a whirlwind. Now I have to really get serious. She said it would be good if I lost 10-15 pounds, and to do the best I can. Now I have to get through all the tests, when Karen was explaining them all to me my eyes just glazed over and I stared into space 8-l as it was a lot of information thrown at me, but I think I have it all sorted now. I already have my sleep study scheduled for June 29th and will work on the other things in the mean time. I'M GONNA BE A LOSER! I'M GONNA BE A LOSER!!!!

Just wanted to say congratulations to you! Good luck with everything. I have my surgery on June 15th with Dr. Gandsas. See you on the losing side. Take care, Leigh

Leigh, Thanks, I am very excited, I hope that all goes well for your surgery, make sure you let me know. I will be praying for you. Kymme
