Good Luck to all you October Staplers. It won't be long now. I remember how I felt waiting for the day. It is so exciting and frightening. But it will all be done soon and you will be so happy to be losing weight.

Ohsoprissy, I don't what you were taking to help you sleep. But I take Benadryl or Tylenol PM and my doc said I could take that right up to the night before surgery. You might want to check and see if you can take that. It was great being able to get a good night sleep the night before.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!

Best of luck, and prayers for all of you! Plenty of room on the losers' bench!!!

Yeah, I have been lax about promoting it, too. I think we'll have more soon!

We have an official social group. PM me and I'll send you an invite if I haven't already. Partly, I'm still earning my way around here, but getting the word out will help!

I wouldn't have known about this thread had Hyachap not PM'd me. I have been a little quiet because I have had sick kids. One with the flu and strep, girls you know I was holding my breath not to catch anything with my date coming so quick!!!

I am so glad my sister is coming to help me out. My husband is getting his MBA at SMU and I will be so glad to have her help. I wish that she were coming for some other reason like to just hang out, but I am grateful she is coming in any case.

I have got some good books to read in my down time. What are you guys going to do? Who is going to take care of you post op? Any plans to look forward to?
