Glas you finally found the spirometer I had problems getting one to so I ordered it off Amazon.com, leaving it in living room so I can do it pretty often. Wow a week away when I booked this I thought Nov 22 would never get here and ill be damned its here. My friend googled the weather its going to be about 6o high and 50 lows and i think she said its going to be raining on day we get there. Are you staying at Camino Real I went back and forth about which hotel and decided I would like to be closer to OCC. Yes I agree this is my last attempt at weight loss soo tired of feeling bad about my self, ready to stop beating my self up.I think this is the one thing ALL my life I have never been able to control so I am sooooo very excited about having surgery and finally gaining some control back. Sorry to hear your husband cant come but hey Deanne and I will keep you company. were both pretty entertaining. LOL. Well I kinda screwed my self didnt do to hot on the pre diet, decided to eat all the yummy stuff so now i am doing the liquid diet for the next week. I cant even begin to say how excited i am i am too busy being excited to be nervous is that crazy. well see ya in a week

Trish,

I too have had problems getting a e-mail to you. This is my 3rd try today. So this one is alot shorter than the other two I tried sending today. We sound so much alike with our battle with weight. I totally understand where you are coming from. I too have not told anyone about this surgery except of course for my hubby who is totally there for me always. Unfortunately he cannot take time off work to be with me so I'm doing this on my own. I would love to tell my parents but I know they would freak out if I told them I was having any type of weight loss surgery and then having it in Mexico......To tell you the truth I don't know when and if I'm going to tell them. I'm going tomorrow to break the news to my doctor and I really don't know what she is going to say about this???? Like they say "What goes on in Mexico stays in Mexico"!!!!!

This is my last kick at the can for weight loss, I'm so tried of being over weight so if this doesn't work I don't know what will. I look forward to meeting you and your girlfriend. My flight arrives around 4:30 on the Sunday. Have a good couple of weeks and we'll see you soon.

OK sooo not liking this computer this is my 3rd try i keep deleting something.. so here I go. Soo very excited about surgery. I have gained and lost 70 pounds about 20 times over the last few years and i am tired of doing that. I know i can loose the weight but I feel this time I will have success keeping it off. I am reading Oprahs book of month Women God and Food, trying to fix my fixation with food. I dont want to be 60 (which i am 42)upset about being over weight, so alas my decision to get the sleeve. I thought I was coming far from Ga but dang Canada. I have not been super great with the diet thing I honestly have been eating all of my favorite foods since I know it will be a while since I can have them again , but next time it will be in moderation. I have very few about my surgery my co-workers think i am having a female surgery, I just dont want alot of people to know. Are you having anyone come with you? My bestfriend is coming she lives in Cali and is flying from San Franciso to SanDiego. My husband is very supportive he is in Afghanistan right now, he knows this is important to me so give is full support. I cant wait to see him in Feb 2011 a little thinner and happier( I have ALWAYS been one of those crazy women who based some of their happiness on if I was skinney or fat. sucks I know) well this is half my life story in a short book. look forward to meeting you and it will be great to have someone to share everything with.
