Here I go...

I didnt realize there was a NY forum. So this is a repost. to the locals. I want to thank everyone for their support as I approach my banding date. I celebrated my 36th birthday yesterday and my present to myself comes on Thursday. Not looking forward to the prep or being away from my 10 month old for a couple of days but I know in my heart this surgery will allow me to be around him for a very long time. I am scheduled first surgery of the day on Thursday the 20th. IF anyone can reccommend a good protein drink let me know. I cant wait to get back here and say hi on the losing side. Scared?? You bet!!!! but I know I am not alone, have great support, and I will be ok! peaces love and strength. sharon in ny
