hello to all
Hi,
I was not on the board yesterday so I missed welcoming you, but a hearty welcome to you.
All the things you speak of, are things, I am sure most of us relate to, as this journey is full of anticipation and trepedation (spelling?), and what I can say is that while the unknown entity can be frightening, the reality of post-surgical life is usually full of wonderful living experiences, doing things we would often sit back and think, I wish I could do this or that, and suddenly finding that we are no longer limited by our weighted down bodies.
So yup, walk GIzmo when you get to thinking of food or cigarettes, it will serve two purposes now, physical activity which is important to helping you lose weight and taking your mind off of the stuff that will be of no benefit to your goal of healthier living!
So excited for you and looking forward to getting to know you better!
Best wishes for your upcoming "rebirth"!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I asked and hinted around to the nurses about surgeons and found he is the best at Madigan. Also, I'm just up the road in Puyallup and have a sewing group in Graham.... I use to live out there just off 224th (many years ago). If you would like we could meet and share info.... when you are able to get out and about. Millie
