Almost to Surgery

My name is Sallie and I'm in LA. I finally did my last test (cardiac clearance). They are supposed to schedule my surgery now.

I can't wait to begin the rest of my life. I have protein powder. I need some recipes for shakes. I have Gas-X strips. I have a friend who will come help me once my surgery date is set.

I need to lose 105 more pounds. I've lost 22 over the last couple of months. I'm really trying not to gain weight while waiting.

Thanks for being here.

Sallie

Good Job Sally. Let us know when you get your surgery date. Good Luck.

Good luck Sallie! I will be banded next week as well. I wish us both success. When you say you are in LA, is that Los Angeles or Louisiana?

Hi Sallie! Welcome to LBT and congratulations on your decision to get the band. Keep us posted on how things are going and let us know if you have any questions.
