A looser!  (meant in the kindest of ways)


They moved up my surgery time so I'll now be a 7:30am case vs. 1pm.  It made for some last minute shuffling, but I'd rather get in early.  I have two little boys, Chase (8) and Cole (7) and my husband and I are trying to keep their day as normal as possible.  I'll be driving myself to the hospital at 5am and my husband will come over later on after dropping the boys off at their day camp at Lifetime.  I had back surgery 1.5 years ago and drove myself then, too.  It helps keep me calm since there is nobody there to listen to me freak, LOL

Thanks for all your kindness and slide on over and make me some room!

Lauren- Can't wait for you to formally join the other side of the group.  I think it's great surgery got moved up, the earlier the better I say.  You'll do great !!

Oh I'm so excited!! You must have gotten my 1pm slot that I abandoned when I got an earlier date.  It's great being the first one of the day.  Dr. Drew is absolutely awesome.  He made me feel really comfortable and taken care of!  You're going to do great :D  Warming a spot for you!

Lauren,

I remember the night before surgery.....The excitement, nervousness, so many emotions....Just remember this will be the best gift you could give yourself, it's an amazing journey.......Take pictures before and measurements, you will be shocked at how much you will lose in 3 months......And the difference the pictures show.....

Good luck, and Welcome to the bench, Kelly
