Re: Andi!!!! Back to Chriss

[Guest guest]

Hi Andi,

I saw Dr Talbot today for a second time and we went over some of the

issues we discussed last time, and results of my blood tests. I got

a list of his available dates for surgery and I'll be trying to

decide over the next week or so. I've every confidence in him - he's

a great guy, I just have to work myself up to the idea of surgery.

I'd never considered a lapband before the beginning of this year and

have learned everything I know about it just in the last few weeks.

I'm amazed at how many people write " I can't wait for my surgery! "

or " 2 days till my surgery, whoo hoo! " . I don't feel at all excited

(only nervous) and I'm wondering maybe something's wrong with me,

why aren't I jumping for joy?

I think it's fantastic that you're so close to your goal weight and

exciting to see the changes in your face when you lost the first

10kgs! I'm sure you'll be a very beautiful bride!

Luv Chriss

PS All that talk about your 40 laps is making me exhausted!
