Hi ALL and Merry Christmas!!! I don't normal come to this board because there is not alot of activity...would love to see that change!!! I am 8 months post op and doing great! Just came to say HI and get to meet some of my fellow South Dakotans!!! Becki

I will have to miss because of other holiday plans, but I do hope to attend in the future!

Hey ladies, Its a wonderful group. I missed the last one, not feeling well. Now I've figured out why. I've been having gall bladder attacks. I am having surgery tomorrow to remove the gall bladder. I hope I am well enough to go on Monday as I am really looking forward to it. I forgot who asked, but here is the info... Sioux Valley Hospital in SF 7 pm In the old heart cafe area Sounds like its going to be a Christmas gathering. Sounds fun!!!!! Hope to see you there.

I've always had problems with sleeping, but have actually gotten better since surgery...although initially it wasn't like that. It gets better. I hope you are feeling better - why did you question your decision? Pain? Fear? just wondering...and hoping you aren't still regretting it. LOL; wishing you the very best...I'll keep you in my prayers. Don't forget to check the Dec 06 forum so you can visit with others who had surgery about the same time as you.

Hope it goes well!! See you on the losing side my dear! Blessings~
