Thumbs up It's a Go!

For some reason I've had this overwhelming fear that one of the pre-op tests would come back all wanky and I wouldn't be able to have surgery. Silly - probably, but nerve-wracking nonetheless. Anyway, yesterday I had my pre-op appointment with the surgeon and the PA and everything was great. I am in surprisingly great health for a woman of fluffy proportions. I am really and truly having lapband surgery next Tuesday morning - one short week away. I didn't have to have a psych evaluation either. Do they know who they are dealing with here?

I also took a class called "Embracing Change" yesterday that was pretty good. I'm looking forward to taking more of this woman's classes. Don't you hate it though, when you get into a situation where there's one person who just always has to interrupt a speaker and draw attention to themselves? I would have gotten much more out of this class if one of the women in the group would have just SHUT UP!

Ok, rambling now - just nervous!
Wish me luck!

Oh, Chickadee! You have waited and waited and waited for this day to come and it's almost HERE! Congrats, sweetie, I will be thinking thin/safe/healthy/happy thoughts for you on Tuesday and sending all my bestest vibes your way.

(personally, I think it was all the chocolate you consumed over the years owning that shop is the reason why you are in such good health - I'm just sayin'.....)
