It's My Turn to Have a DATE!!!!!

Just HAVE to share.....  Did you hear the screaming and shouting where you are earlier today???  That was me! Thursday, June 5th, 7:30 a.m...........  It'll be my turn!  All the reading, nutrition programs, diet programs, attempts at exercise plans, drug plans, doctor's ideas, and then subjecting myself to tests and exams ............ the insurance company said yes! I came to OFF at the beginning of this journey almost one year ago......  Don't think I would have stuck with it without following everyone's journey through WLS and learning from the experiences shared.   Thank you, Jan S.,for inviting me to OFF and a special thank you for volunteering to be my Surgery Angel!  You really are an angel..... Finally, I get to sit on the Loser's Bench!  Hope there's room for me..... Hugs to you all, Kathi

yEA CONGRADULATIONS, YOU HAVE WAITED FOR A LONG LONG TIME. WAY TO GO GIRL FOR HANGING IN THERE. REALLY WONT BE LONG NOW.

Thanks so much Jan!  I think the time will go quickly for me.  It is when it is.... Our wedding anniversary is June 9 so I told hubby he's getting the perfect present for me! Timing is everything I guess. Kathi

Kathi, Congratulations.  What great news.  Jan was my surgery angel and I can tell you that you are in good hands. I cannot keep the smile off my face.  Debi

Thanks so much, Debi! Aren't we lucky to have Jan in our lives?  You've done so very well with your surgery, and I hope I can be successful too.  I can't miss with all the support! Hugs, Kathi

****** YOU'VE GOT A DATE  ******** I haven't been this excited since I got my own date nearly a year ago!!!!!! It couldn't happen to anyone more deserving !!!!

Thanks, Jan! I can't get over my excitement~!  LOL  It's going to be fun to have the experience!  I keep thinking....... this time next year I'll __________.  Then I have to try to fill in the blank!  LOL Gee, I think I'm a little ahead of myself here......  Oh well! Hugs, Kathi

OK, Kathi - Now I'm MAD !!!   I only slept about 2 hours last night & today I'm bouncing off the walls with nervous energy.   You ask WHY ?????  'Cause my Very Good Friend Kathi HAS A DATE !!!!!!  I still can't come down off Cloud 9 !!!  I think I'm more excited for you than I was for me - that's because I KNOW how much this surgery means & I KNOW how successful you will be!!!

Oh dear..... Now I've messed with your sleep pattern too!  LOL  I've done nothing at work today.  Absolutely nothing but two meetings where I contributed very little...  but I don't care.... I can't tell you what the support means to me.  Who knew you were only down the freeway before we found OFF? I sure hope you got a short nap in at least!  You must get your rest..... we'll be walking before you know it..... I LOVE the bunny on the cloud!  You find the best animations!

Kathi! KATHI! KAATTHHIIIII!!!!!! OH, MY GOSH!!!! I am soooo happy!!!! I am soooo happy for you! HUG HUG HUG! Cheryl
