I got to meet Julie and Kat today

I was so excited when I left Dr. Horbostel's office today. I was just stoping in to pick up my folder for my date to go to the hospital and have the assesment. I guess that is what it is. The blood tests and such. Well anyway I first met Julia and then Kat. IT WAS GREAT!!!!!! I have been wanting to meet some ppl from here that are having the surgery or did have the surgery. Well we sat in Dr H's office and chatted a bit and I got to ask a lot of questions. I left the building feeling so much better about having the surgery. Thanks for being so welcoming Kat and Julie GRetta

Hey Gretta, I was so excited to get to meet you. I can't believe we have been around all summer and not actually met. I will try to keep you date so I can visit you and if your family doesn't want to support you let me know and I'll go with you to the hospital. (but please don't order weather like Kat's) My family is like yeah, alright if that's what you say. I don't really think they actually believe how committed I am about this. But time will tell.Take care and pop in often. JULIA

HAHAHA Julie, you are so funny. I couldn't help but giggle. I hope NOBODY has to go through what I did to get my surgery. It was a miserable trip, but well worth it. I wish I could be there at the hospital like Julia is for everyone, but I love to far away. Since your surgery is on the same day as my consult, Travis said I could leave early and go to the hospital to be with you on the 11th. It is not at all a scary thing. I was actually kind of calm that morning. I need to call the office in the morning and double check the appointment time. If I am not mistaken, your packet said 930 am for the morning of surgery. That should be the time that you need to be at the hospital, not when your surgery is. If I am right, then my appointment is 15 min after you go into surgery. I will need to check that out in the morning. I will let you know what I find out. It was wonderful to meet you today!!!!

That would be awsome if you could come visit me on my surgery date. If you cant though that would be fine too. Yeah my packet said 9:30 am for the morning of the surgery. So how are you feeling today? Great I hope. How did it go with the stage two eating? I think I remember you saying Doc said you could move to stage two. Tell me all the deets what did you eat ect. Well take it easy and ttyl Gretta
