I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK on your upcoming surgery. Take a deep breath, try to relax. Know that we all care about you and are wishing you the best. Think positive, it really does help. After surgery, REMEMBER, turn, cough, take deep breaths, and walk to prevent complications. Hold your incision when you cough, it helps it hurt less. Keep your profile updated, it may make a difference in the live of someone else. Smile, keep your chin up! And lastly, if your chin does fall, just remember, from this position it is easier to moon people! :) (Also, humor helps too!)

Hi Kelly! We just met tonight at Dr. Strickland's support group! I told you I'd drop you a line! It was truly a pleasure meeting with you. Much love and support!

Hi Kelly! I'm a patient of Dr. S's too. I'm scheduled at Lexington MC on 7/23. Also check out Christina Z. from Lugoff - she's scheduled on 7/22 too. Looking forward to meeting you when we're "walking the halls" post-op. I'm sure we'll all get through this thing just fine. Hang in there (patience!)- Surgery day will be here soon enough and we'll all be thinner girls before we know it!
