I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hi Margo,
What a delight to find your post. How I enjoyed reading it this morning. You are making me smile. Thank you my friend for sharing this very important moment. I think this will be one of those historical markers in my life, who knows maybe they'll put one on the side of the road by the hospital to mark the event, lol.
I agree regarding the caffeine. She says as she sits at the computer, drinking her morning cup. I told my husband yesterday that this would be a good time to cut it bac****il its gone before surgery. So you mirrored my thoughts. Thank you for that word of encouragement to get it done. It adds to my resolve.
Thanks to for acknowledging the weight loss. As you certainly know very well, it doesn't come easy as we get older, but its not impossible either!
So I'm on my way, mind going in a thousand directions. Gotta do this, gotta do that, gotta, gotta, gotta...... At least with anesthesia I won't be able to make lists and will finally sleep, lol.
Blessings to you!!!

Congratulations on the day that your life is going to change! I know that the jumping through the hoops are done and that is something to jump for joy for. We do get a lot of exercise from that hoop jumping.
You have done a great job with the losing 46 pounds already. I am sure the doctor is well pleased with that too.
It sounds like you are getting well prepared for the big day and that is good. You know that you have a whole house full of support from your brothers and sisters here...we are here for you every step of the way. Don't ever forget that for one minute. Know that we are here to answer any questions that you might have too. But one thing I am sure of....you will do fantastic! I have no doubt at all about that.
I have those stress tests all the time and I just hate them. I hate the feeling that I get from them and I am always glad that they are finished for a while. I am glad that they turned out good for you, that is the important thing.
Again.....congratulations and we will be getting our areas on the losers bench dusted...we have to make sure that we clean house when we get a new bench sitter.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Hello Brenda,
So good to know my friends are circling the wagons. You are such a joy, and I love reading your posts. All you've been through lately and you still find time for everyone else. I really appreciate that about you.
Thanks so much for sharing this with me. You and the folks here are my brothers and sisters. I do not have support from family going into this and so you make it so comforting to know I can come here. My husband is a HUGE support, and my rock.
Yep, glad the tests are behind me, and I hope they turn out okay. I won't know about yesterday's adventure for a few days, but somehow I feel that will be okay too.
Even saying "loser's bench" makes goose bumps. Oh my go**** is really happening. You talk about it forever it seems, and then when it is a reality, oh my gosh!!!
Thanks Brenda, you are a rock, and one of the dearest people on the face of the earth!!!
Blessings to you.

Thanks so much Annette!! I am just delighted that you would share this moment with me. And even happier that you have reserved a seat on the bench for me. I have loved reading your posts and feel like I know you. (It's a very good feeling!)
You are right about the intership, or is it more like bootcamp? lol Thanks for acknowledging that, and knowing so well what goes into getting ready for WLS.
Kisses back to you. A few dog kisses too!!!
Blessings to you!

Thank you Susan, it is fantastic, and YaY, is a perfect word to describe how I feel at this moment. I know you understand that very well. I do appreciate that you would post, and join me in this wonderful moment. It means so very much when people take time to share important moments with one another.

Congratulations on your surgery date and the fine job you have already done! You're going to be a great member of the "loser's bench", seeing as you've already begun your journey. According to your ticker you are right about where I started when I had my surgery! Anyway, best wishes as there is always room for one more on the loser's bench!
Hugs, Laureen
