Surgery Date
March 14th....yup, there it is. Dr. Svendsen is probably the most down-to-earth surgeon I've EVER gotten the pleasure to meet. I think I made the right choice with him...we were both laughing in our meeting today. I feel so comfortable with all this surgery stuff, but I still have the butterflies. Even tho' I know I worry a lot, it makes me think I'm going to do fine. It lets me know that I really care about what is about to happen and I'm going to take it seriously.
I know I'm gonna start crying right before surgery....oy....I hear your nerves get kinda bad like a day or 2 beforehand.
One of my favorite "signatures" on this website is "If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it." I don't remember who has this, but thank you for saying that because it reminds me on a daily basis that this is the right path.
Dr. Chuck is great!!! And a nice looking hunk of beef cakes too!!!
I had my tears once I knew I had been approved and this was going to happen. It hit me like a ton of bricks -- OMG, what am I doing!! Am I sure I can't just diet again? Then reality came back and I continued to move forward. The nerves are totally normal -- but just know that when the tears come, in your heart you are making a good decision. After surgery you'll wonder why you didn't do this years ago!!!
XXOO
And the saying you refer to is from Tracy.....her new one is great too. "A day without out freckles is like a sky without stars!!!" She is soooo cute!!!
Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~
(Barb..."beefcakes"...LMAO!!!)
Way to get your date Cooby! Congratulations!!! How exciting. You'll do great!!! 
I'd be worried about anyone who DIDN'T get the butterflies once they got a date! I mean, we take all these steps to get to that point, but it doesn't actually feel REAL until our names are written on that surgeon's schedule!
HOLY GUACAMOLE!!! HE WROTE MY NAME DOWN ON HIS SURGICAL CALENDAR!!! 
Don't fret any of the emotions you feel between now & then - there are a plethora of them, and they're all good! Me, I wrote "just in case" letters to each person in my family. I still have 'em. Obviously didn't need them, but now I try to figure out whether to burn 'em or keep them in my night stand - "just in case". Do whatever eases your anxiety, but know that it's all normal.
And YAY YOU!!! ONE MONTH TO GO!!!
