Topic: RE: Got my surgery date Feb 3rd
I just took a week off of work (desk job) and I was ok.  I was a little tired, and that first week back was a blur, but it worked out ok.  I just made sure I didn't have to "eat" in front of anyone.  Even now when I heat up my lunch in the microwave, if I get a comment "is that all you eating?" I say -- well -- I'm dieting big time, and this is just a part of my lunch (the other part is a protein drink that I sip throughout the day!

Congrats on your date!

Topic: Got my surgery date Feb 3rd
Hi everyone.  I got a surgery date w/ Dr. Fowler set for Feb 3.  I just can't even believe it.  I really have to get my **** in order.  

I haven't even told my job that I am having surgery.  I have to let them know something this week.  I really didn't want to tell them I was having gastric bypass as I don't think it's any of their business.  So, I got to come up w/ something.  I was thinking of just saying it was personal and I needed a week to recover.  I sit at a desk at work so I'm hoping that a week is all I need.  I'll just take my own vacation time.

I've been over weight for so long that I really haven't ever dreamed of myself as being a thin person because nothing has ever worked for me.  I'm kinda afraid of really believing this is gonna work.  Does that make sense to anyone?

I just pray that this is the end of a long FAT person journey for me and a new start. 

Debbie

Welcome!
I went to his seminar and enjoyed it very much.  I found him very personable.  In the end, I did not go with him for other reasons.

You'll find quite a bit of people on here that have gone to him.  I'm sure they'll respond soon.

Best of Luck on your journey!!
