Thank you all very much for the love and support. For those who don't know what I am doing. I am having a lap band placed tomorrow around the upper part of the stomach to assist me in losing the close to 75 pounds that I still need to lose. I have lost twenty two in the last six months as of today. I have been educated, been cleared by every doctor I see to have the procedure done. I also will have a hiatal hernia repaired. I will come home Sat am. I have to be at the hospital at 5am PST and the procedure is set for 7:30 am. Say a prayer or send me warm thoughts if you are awake and think of it!

Cherry thanks for being the head cheerleader. Tonna, I love your ornaments and I love your verbal picture of you cheering.

This group means so much to me, I cannot begin to tell you. I hope everyone has a great weekend. You need to put on your green and yellow and root for the Ducks at 8pm Eastern tomorrow and then put on your red and white and root for my Oklahoma Sooners Sat night. Go Ducks and BOOMER SOONER!!!! You can say it in one sentence. Catch your breath and say it loud!

Much love to everyone,

Melinda

I am praying for sucessful and well guided surgery tomorrow for you and, of course, a speedy recovery.

HUGS and LOVE!

Go Melinda Go!! Yay Yay Yay!! Here's to hope, well wishes, thoughts, a speedy recovery and prayers!

Many blessings,
Toni

Thanks Brandi. God is watching over me and all of you wonderful people have my backside so what more could I want?

I am moving on.....to the land of health and less medication, and less pain. xoxo

I appreciate your support. I know you don't agree with me but I know I have your love, prayers, hugs and support. That means the world to me.

Melinda, I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. It won't be long and your going to be running around in your new yellow poked dotted bikini. My daughter in law had this done and it truly amazes me how it all works. Watch the amount of food she ate afterwards seem like it wasn't enogh to keep a bird alive. She felt wonderful after the surgery and each and everyday. She just kept gaining more energy and self esteem and confidence. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

May God guide the surgeon all the way through and may your healing be quick and easy!!!!!!! Randy

Thank you, Randy and 11 (I am so sorry, I can't think of your name). I appreciate your prayers and good wishes so much.

Melinda

Sending prayers for a safe surgery and quick recovery. Well done on your preparation! Hip hip horray!

I hope all goes well.

Best wishes, my Aunt had this done years ago and it helped her quite a bit.
I hope it helps you too.
