A day and a Half to Go

WOW can't hardly believe it is almost here. I have to be at St Joe's East at 6:15am Monday morning for my surgery. Dr. Steiner says I should be in surgery by 7:30 am and done no later than 9:00 am or so. If my surgery goes as well as Dee's then I will be very happy with it. I am looking forward to being on the losing side. I have to admit I am getting a little more nerveous and anaxious each day...heck each hour that passes. I am very suprised at how well I have done on the pre-op diet. I weighed in at my pre-op visit on Wednesday at 341 lbs. That is about a 24 to 25 lb loss from my first visit. I was very pleased and little shcoked by that. Maybe I can keep that success up after surgery. I also want to say thank you to all of you have been so supportive of me through out this and I am so blessed to have you all behind me. God Bless, Michael

Michael! Congrats! thinking of you and prayers sent your way, keep us posted ok? and God Bless You! Delilah!

Dee will be sure and keep you all updated on my progress. I know it is easier when you have support like you and your family. Ya'll keep up the great work as well. God Bless You All, Michael

Michael....good luck my friend, I know you will do wonderfully...I have known a few couples who have had this surgery, together they really encourage each other and work together. It sounds like you guys are going to do just that. You are both very lucky. Take care of yourself and keep us informed. Brenda
