Hello everybody

Hi everybody I have surgery in a week and am excited and nervouse just can't wait to be on the other side and have the surgery over. My Doc doesn't have a diet before requirement but giving up caffiene and sugar this week in a hope that I don't have to go thu caffiene withdrawal along with the other issues after the surgery lol.  So anyone have any good advice my preop is on the 7th and my surgery on the 9th. Can't wait to join ya'll on the loosers bench.

Welcome!  We're glad you decided to join us!  There is plenty of room on the bench so we'll make a place just for you!  Where are you having your surgery?   Freddie

Dr. Sanborn on base is doing it at the hospital on Ft. Campbell. He is so very nice and his nurse Sandra is wonderfull. I love the support groups that she runs there.

Hey Dawn let me know when you are oing in so I can come see you. Phillip is down range now so I have a lot of time on my hands you may be sick of me real fast...LOL

Lol I"m tring to get bill sent downrange lmao I go in on the 9th so assuming all goes well i'll be in there the 9 10 and 11th i think. Bill isn't going till end of year but kinda wanted him to go in the one coming up with everyone else so I can have that wow factor when he gets back he's never seen me anything less then 190. Plus would be nice to get a few bills paid off that we are struggling with.  So how are you handling the deployment so far. You are more than welcome to come hang out anytime you want. I'm mostly trapped at home as we share the car and he takes it it work everyday. Maybe we could all get together on like a sat afternoons and walk the mall or something. Heck if Bills gonna be stuck here he might as well babysit for me hahaha. So i'll see you at the meeting on the 7th before I go in on the 9th.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. It want be long. Ellen
