I have double holes, he couldn't use me gallbladder surgery, a month earlier, for the sleeve too. I look like a sieve. No stitches thank goodness. I think they max boded me back together. I like your phone dave!

You have made me feel So much calmer about surgery. I haven't set a date yet, but I have my stress test and visit with the Pulmonary Dr next week. I am starting to freak out a LOT.

As for the pink phone, it is a bold choice. Congrats!

You are supposed to be freaking out - thats why its called a STRESS test

LOL I always thought that was ironic. Sorry, odd humor tonight!

**janielou** · 06-22-2011 09:29 PM

Oh, no, I get the joke! Getting ready to have this surgery is like the quest for the holy grail. I feel like next I will have a test of my courage and honor.

I love my pink phone

I'm a pink kinda gal, everything has to be pink, and I mean everything!

Really? I wouldnt say it hurt really, just like pulling something slimy out of your stomach

Not for the squeamish! Luckily it literally lasts 2 seconds. Worst case, tell the doctor you want him to count to ten before pulling so you can be ready, then have your companion whisper to him to pull on #2 without telling you
