Oh, and one more thing.  When Amy, the pre-op nurse, spoke to me about what time my surgery would be I asked her to be first.  (FYI - Amy is gorgeous and an amazing wls success story.)  She said no one ever aks to be first so I was unusual I guess.  But I wanted to get it over with first thing in the morning and not wait around thinking all morning.  Just  though I'd tell you so you could request this if you want to.  I think I called Amy before she called me so she would know.  There were 5 procedures on my day!  It made for an early morning but that worked for me!

I am so happy for you...amazing what a relief it is hearing that a date is set.  I will be right ahead of you on Aug. 28th with Dr. G.  So we will be doing our lovely liquid diet at the same time.  Just think everytime you life a glass during that two weeks whether it be of water, brother or whatever to say "Cheers" to a new long and health life.  Congrats!!

Thanks everyone for the good words.  Means alot.  Kim, didn't know I could ask for a certain slot, because I want to be one of the first ones.  Can't decide if Walton is good and awake on the first one, or just warmed up at the second one.  Hmmmm.  I am so ready to be on the loser's bench.  Kim, that is cool your husband's name is Michael, but my wife's name is Dessie.  (Irish for faithful).  y'all are the greatest, Michael.

Forgot to tell you, I'm having an RNY.  Dr. Walton thought that would be the best for me since I have so much to lose.  Told him I trusted his judgment completely.

Oh, one more thing.  Happy Anniversary policecat on the 15th.  Yes, it is going to be an extremely GREAT day!  I just celebrated my 28th anniversary on 8/2.  Who'd thunk I would have found someone to put up with me that long.  Whew.
