Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi Viv I'm doing ok, thanks for asking. I finally am down 15 pounds, I was stuck at 13 for 2 weeks and it was getting old, ha ha. I get my first fill on April 17 and I'm both excited and nervous about it. Viv where are you from? I'm in Tucson and there is one gal here in AZ that does fills. Her name is Hall and she is a bandster herself and a midwife also. She has done lots of Dr. A's patients and I've heard very good things about her. She has two clinics in the White Mountains and also goes down to Mesa to do fills. I'm only about an hour and a half from Mesa, so it works pretty good for me, I am very fortunate. And she charges only $100. Your date is getting closer!!!! > > > > > > Tammy, > > > Thanks so much for your post.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi , I know the feeling. I guess we'll both be " bug-eyed " when we meet in Mexico! Only 4 days to departure... Vivian Re: In the single digits Hi Vivian, Yes the countdown is on for you!!! What day is your actual surgery on? From what everyone says I think you will be fine going alone but I understand wanting to have someone there with you. I think its the fear of the unknown. Honestly, This is where I am most happy. There is just so much support here. But I know how you feel and we all want to see a picture of you with a huge smile on your face after surgery because it's your turn to feel Happy Inside!! Tammy I.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi Viv, oooh, only 5 days! I remember the anticipation very well! And the butterflies in the tummy. But once I was in the air, it felt cool! I was so independent!!! There are several bandsters from Florida tho. Hey, if you go thru Tucson on your trip, definately give me a jingle. We can meet for coffee, or something! lol > > > > > > > > Tammy, > > > > Thanks so much for your post.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Vivian, no we don't have a safe room, just a hall closet. If a tornado came we would probably be wiped out. I saw that show about a perfect storm ,too. My cousin lives in Tenn and 10 people were killed the other day by a tornado. Very scary stuff. I have a dear friend that lives in Atlanta, Ga. She loves it there. Never been, though. She just moved there. Again, good luck on with your surgery. Ginger > > > > > > > > Tammy, > > > > Thanks so much for your post.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 , I hope you get this before your surgery! I was a mess all last week. I ahd a bunch of people ask me if I was " OK " ? I think everyone goes through this and it's so normal. This is a life changing event...but in a good way. After going through Katrina there's probably nothing you can't handle. I know God didn't bring you all this way just to let you down! You're going to look back and say, " what was all the fuss about? " Please don't forget to post your experience. Good luck and have a great trip! Ginger > > > > > > > > > > Tammy, > > > > > Thanks so much for your post.
