Hi I am Back!!! Feeling pretty good for the most part

Hi Gayla,\ Like the others I am so glad to see you are doing well.  I am glad there is no side effect yet.  The water is so hard to get down (even to this day for me) but try hard as it will make things soooo much better.  I sure hope to see you on Sunday! Let us know if you need anything and/or have questions.  We are all here for you!

Look at this warm welcome back from surgery!!!  Thank you all very very much!  I was looking to see who was coming to the BBQ on Sunday June 3, and I see most of you have said you would go.  I can't wait to meet you all in person!  Thanks for the great support, and the great ideas above...I've written them all down, and will look to see if I can find the lime, the EAS WHEY and will bring some jello to the BBQ....LOL, that is because I will still be on the liquid diet!  LOL! See you all soon!

Glad to hear all went well for you and you are home. I don't know if I'll be at the BBQ yet -- seem to have picked up a cold and don't want to pass it along to anyone if I'm still feeling lousy by the weekend.  One good thing, at least I have time to get well before my surgery with Dr. Deveney on June 20th. Thanks for posting about your experience with him and his team - it really helps to hear that.  Hope to meet you soon. Shirley

Oh Shirley, I do hope you get well quickly!  Hey, stay in touch with me, because I'd like to respond to some of your last minute thoughts and feelings.  I did the gambit.  At the very last minute, Kim responded to one of my cry's for help, and invited me to one of the meetings.  I went!  It was the best thing that I could have done for myself right at that time.  It was amazing how great it was to talk to "REAL" people and hear and see how they have done.  I'm wishing you the very best!  I hope that you will come to a meeting so I get to meet you.   Gayla
