Topic: RE: surgery tomorrow
Think positive thoughts like all the reasons you wanted the surgery.  Stay busy the rest of the day.

When you come home let us know how you are. And really you will be fine. The complication percentage is less than 1% for the WLS but the complication rate with obesity is as high as 95 percent of death and complications for certain conditions.

I have back pain, joint pain, incontinence, GERD, depression, decreased lung volume, diabetes, peripheral nerve pain, high cholesterol, foot pain, hypertension, gallbladder disease and more. Most of these conditions will improve greatly or disappear.

I am 54 and longer you are overweight the more damage obesity does. I wish I could have gotten WLS years ago. You look pretty young and you will have so many more years to enjoy your good health.

Are you Latin? I am 1/2 Puerto Rican.

I didn't have to do the colonoscopy or the stress/echo but i did have 9 pages of tests to do last week. What liquids are you drinking? I am going to check out the V-8 Splash. How many grams of sugar is there in one serving?

The time is going to fly for you now!!

Your surgery is on my 26th wedding annivarsery.

Take Care

I'm doing them for 2 weeks after surgery. You have to give the injections in your stomach. I've hidden the 14 syringes so I don't have to think about it until it's necessary.
