Thank you OCWLS!!

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say hello and how much I appreciated everyone's kindness. I am so much calmer now. (its amazing) I was so glad that Michael mentioned that he was afraid of blood clots...one of my most major fears. I felt better to know I wasn't alone on that. It was so sweet of Michelle to show me her incisions --even though it was the first time we met in person!! Seeing them practically totally healed up in only 3 weeks is a great comfort. Everyone and I mean everyone was so kind (i can't remember everyones name-I'll get it eventually) Donna thank you for the vitamins...oddly for a liquid they were pretty yummy. Jen was so funny and down to earth..its exactly what I needed. Thanks for explaining the "foamy mouth" yikes. I will take Timmy's advise and use the water bottle if need be...LOL. I loved hearing everyones stories. I didn't know about the 20 oz of protein..good to know! Thanks for all the hugs and the well wishes for Wednesday...I needed that so bad! I already have Donna's phone number so I will take it with me to the hospital and will call her to let her know how it went. I can't wait till the October meeting!!! See you then, talk to you soon! Hugs, Barb

Barb, It was great seeing you. I hope you are calming down. I know you will do fine. You'll be on the losing side this time next week!!!!! Donna C.

Donna, I am so unusually calm today...its scary....lol. I am sure it is because I saw all of you Thursday night. I just hope I can keep up this calm till its time to be wheeled in...lol. Take care, Barb

Hi Barb I am glad that you are feeling better and I hope that things will all go well for you and you have a lot to look forward to on the "losing side". I find that the meetings and the people have been extremely helpful to me and I am very happy that I tuned into this local group. Good Luck with the Surgery ... and we will see you soon at another meeting. Michael

good luck barb!!!!! hugs roberta

Barbara~ Please know that I will be thinking of you tomorrow and saying a prayer for you everytime you cross my mind! You will do great. The hardest part is almost over! Waiting is the hardest part. Please call Donna so she can post on the boards for all of us. Love, Michelle Brennan

Barbara - glad we could help -- the OCWLS is comprised of a great bunch of people from various walks in life and ages - but we all want to succeed on this incredible WLS journey and will support each other in that quest! You will do great on Wednesday -- If there is anything I can help with, please let me know - we are there for you. Hugs, Nannette
