Finally fulfilling a dream! (x-post)

March 21, 2006

Congratulations Terri!!!!! I'm really happy for you. It was great meeting

you at the Bash! I'm so happy you chose Dr. Kuri, I told you he was the best!!

You'll NEVER regret this decision.

I just got back from my broken port surgery late Wed. nite and all went well

as expected. I'm still sore today though, it feels like I've got a tennis

ball under my skin. I'm sure it's just swelling that has yet to go down. I wish

I

would have gotten pain pills though, Dr. Kuri said to just take Tylenol as

needed, but they don't cut it. I guess that's just me.

So the next time we see eachother, there'll be " less " of us! HAhaah!! I've

already lost about 5-6# since my surgery, yayyaya, I'm back on track.

Well bandster friends, I did my Liver Shrinking Diet, I am down 12 pounds and

I am off to finally fulfill my long-awaited dream of getting banded. I will be

heading out in the wee hours tomorrow (Wednesday) morning to TJ, I just can't

believe it is finally happening! I am scheduled for surgery Thursday and will be

back online (barring any unforseen circumstances) Saturday night.

As I get ready to take this huge step in my ongoing journey. I want to thank

all of you out there who taught me so much and helped me to this point. It is

you who I learned everything I know about banding from and most of all, you all

told me not to give up trying to achieve it. I will continue to be here,

gleaning everything I can from both the newbies and the experienced bandsters

and sharing what I learn along the way. I can't imagine doing this without all

the shared knowledge and guidance these groups have to offer.

So, today will be my last communication as a pre-bandster and when I return

I will share my experiences in TJ with you, particularly for the people out

there who are considering this for themselves. You can never learn to much when

you are considering such a lifechanging decision.

I am not scared at all.... I am ready for this. Bring it on! I am ready to

start LIVING again!

" We're too excited to sleep!! "

Band-hugs,

Terri
