Topic: ten days and counting...
Ten days, that's all. It will be here seemingly tomorrow. I'm still having second thoughts, but know that I am going to go through with it. I am forcing myself to focus on the positive outcomes rather than the negative possibilities. My biggest fear which is common I suppose is dying during the operation or having serious complications afterwards. I am only 27 and in pretty good health considering my weight which is 330lbs. I know the doctors' involved wouldn't give me clearance if they thought I wouldn't do well. Just trying to convince myself further I guess.
Anyone else scheduled for the 11th?

Topic: RE: To tell or not to tell?!!
I had similar concerns, especially about the workplace and then decided it was better for me to let people know what was going on than to have them wondering and jumping to conclusions about the time off and subsequent weight loss. While I feel it's no ones business but mine and my family, I presented the information in a manner that let them know the decision was not up for discussion but also freely offered solid information to questions asked. At least this way, no one will be wondering if I've got cancer or some other disease.
Topic: RE: No liquid diet??
From what I understand, there are some surgeons who don't require this diet. You are one of the lucky ones, although I'm sure that if you decide to do it for your own reasons, it wouldn't be a problem!
