12 hours to go
Linda, I had my surgery May 21, 2003. I weighed 386 pounds, I now weigh 254. I went thru the surgery just fine. The adjustments I had to make when I got home were something else. I was real lucky. At first I drank water, protein shakes with ice that made them look and taste like pudding. I never knew mashed potatoes could taste so good. I am getting ready for my doctors to remove the excess skin. I have a ball of skin that looks like a basketball. It hangs on my left side and the doctors think I may have a hernia with it. But when I walk, it jiggles and wiggles. I am doing a whole lot better than I have in 20 years. Oh, I forgot to tell you, i'm 55. I live in Missouri. I will say a special prayer for you tonight and I wish you the very best with your surgery. LOL
