I'm so lonely! My house is fast asleep and I am hyper and cant go to sleep... I anyone out there?

Hello Im here and i cant sleep either how are you ? Are you out there ? lol Victor Alicea

Victor! My savior!.....I am too hyper! Cant sleep, want to talk and nobody is posting..Thanks for answering my post. I am having pre-op nerves and insomnia because of them...it was bad enough when i was scared and nervous, now that I finally got my date I am overly excited! I see you had surgery in november? how are you doing ?

Im doing great, I've lost 128 pounds in 6 months and i also got VERY!!!!! nervous when i got my surgery date but dont worry everything is going to be fine just remember to go in with a positive attitude ok ? if youy ever have any questions dont hesitate to ask this is a great forum to ask Victor Alicea

WOW!!! That's amazing! 128 pounds in six months...I know I am just repeating what you just wrote but that is because i am speechless...that seems way more than most people ..Great job Got any weight loss secrets you can share?

no weight loss secret here 1- Follow the rules 2- EXCERCISE!!!!!!! 3- Keek a positive mind Those 3 equal success Victor Alicea

Great. Believe you me. I plan to do all those..Me doctor wanted me to lose 10 pounds before surgery and i already lost 18. so I am in that magical mindset already! i know I will follow the rules. I am a great rule follower....good little soldier...that's me....Just a little scared still, but mostly excited.

THATS AWESOME THE SURGEON WILL BE REAL PROUD OF YOU YOULL SEE ITS NOT GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL YOULL SEE YOULL BE IN THE LOSER'S BENCH REAL FAST Victor Alicea

Thanks for the encouragement Victor. It means a lot to me! I am hoping to lose another 7 pound before my surgery 6-8-05. that would be a total of 25 pounds. I want to be as ready for this as I can. I already am able to walk more, and due to all the hyper energy I am practically dancing around my house as I do my chires....It's a sight for sore eyes....

I am here too.. I am trying to learn about these procedures. I want to have it done but I am so afraid. I have appts set up already for some tests to get done. Iam just having a toss up in my head between 2 different Dr's. Can anyone tell me if Dr Aranow uses a JP Drain??
