A Done Deal
I've done it. I've taken the first step in doing this. 
And now the terror begins.
My mother-in-law passed away Thursday; on the trip home, I finally had the chance to talk with my husband about this. He said, "So, PV...here we come!!" What a guy! 
I made the deposit into Dr. Joya's account today. I will make airline arrangements tomorrow. I will get the certified check also. Then, it's a waiting game. 
Tell me I've done the right thing...

I know how you feel, Bridget. I had surgery in P.V. a week ago today w/Dr. Joya (lapband) and I am soooooo glad it's finally over. Once I made the decision I was terrified, but I actually felt better after I paid and had the "no turning back" attitude kick in.
Best of luck to you and feel free to e-mail me if you have questions, even though I am still kind of a newbie in this arena.

Whooo, Hoooo!
Good job, girlie! 
When are you going? I am at the same point as you, the first day I am off, I am going to make my deposit. I am scheduling with Dr. Joya on March 20. My husband isn't going. He's afraid of flying. A couple of my girlfriends are going (they are critical care nurses). I am so excited I am about to crap my pants! Sorry for the vulgarity....but how does one describe this feeling.......You have to tell yourself that you've done the right thing. But I am so happy for your courage to do something so big for yourself. I think that's a big part of it for a lot of us......that whole telling yourself that you deserve this thing.
Hang in there, you are probably going to second guess yourself from now until you are feeling better, and that's okay. Just remember that YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!
