Surgery Scheduled

Well I have my surgery scheduled for July 2. I will have a VGS by Dr. Small at Countryside Mease Hospital in Safety Harbor. I am looking forward to this.  All I have left to do is see the nutritionlist.  Mike, What was the name of the protein drink that provided 80 grams that was in the seminar at the OH conferance in Orlando? Can you e-mail me that info at [email protected]

Frank, Hi!  I am so happy that you have a date!  I am going to write it down so I don't forget to send extra prayers your way!  Please keep us posted on how you do.  Is there anyone who can post a message after your surgery or who can call someone on the board to let everyone know all is well?  Hang in there my friend!  I will be pulling for you!

Frank, I'll be thinking of you.  I know you will do great especially with the support for the wonderful people here.  I am at the last phase before surgery and I'm getting so excited.  I just can't wait for the pain to go away from the weight.  I work on the third floor and our elevator has been busted for the last 3 weeks and now we are told it could be another 3 weeks before it's fixed.  That has been a real struggle up and down the stairs.  I have to stop on every floor and in between floors just to catch my breath.  Once I finally make it I don't go anywhere until it's time to go home.  I can't even meet my clients on the first floor during the day.  UGH!   I look forward to meeting everyone here, as I have heard such wonderful things about this great group.  I also look forward to your support once surgery has been completed!!

Hey Frank, I am so excited for you!  Congrats and hang in there.  July 2 in not as far away as it may seem.  Take the time to prepare you mind and body for the change. I really enjoyed meeting you at the OH event in Orlando. Can't wait to see your progress as you begin the journey!!!!! Lori

Frank, my friend, I came to the FL board today just to see if there was any word on you.  I am just so excited for you.  I loved meeting you and can't wait for another event so I can meet up with you again.  Take care buddy.  It will be here before you know it and you will be joiniing us on the losing side.

Hello Frank,  I just wanted to say hi and see how you have been doing. Congrat's on the date that you have I really want to wish you the best. I really enjoyed talking with you at the conference in Orlando.  I hope to be talking with you again soon, Jeannie
