FINALLY, I get to say it!!!

I GOT MY DATE!!!  Gez, I can't believe it.  I went in kinda bracing for the worst, and Dr. Walton didn't even mention my cardiology report.  I'm confused, but VERY happy.  I lost 15 lbs, which put me within 1 lb. of my required loss, so Dr. Walton, said he was just going to make this my pre-op appt.  Since my wife couldn't go, my mom went with me and she started crying, she was so happy.  (I kinda got weepy eye myself, sorta, yeah.....)  Anyway my surgery is Sept 15th.  Brandy had quite a few names on that date, and I told her not to over schedule him because I didn't want him tired when he got to me.  She thought that was kinda funny, and told me both of them were used to doing up to 8 surgeries on those days.  The whole was so excited.  Am pampering the wife, Kim.  I know she is glad I am home.  My two kids took a couple of shifts with her and didn't pamper her in the style is now acustom.   Been a long day -- left here around 7 a.m. and got home around 11:00 tonight.  I am beat, but walking on cloud nine.  Michael

Congratulations on getting a surgery date! Isn't it wonderful, to see an "end" in sight? Of course, it really is just the beginning. Good things ahead! Keep working at losing weight before the surgery.
Blessings,

Congratulations! I know exactly how you feel when you go in there thinking it could all come crashing down and then it all works out. Dr Walton is the best!!! See you on the bench SOON!

So glad to hear that you got your date~ Sept 15th is just around the corner!  You'll be on the loser's bench in no time!

Yeeee Hawwww Michael!!!  I'm so happy for you.  I know you must be so excited.  We all were when the date was finally set.  I'm so glad to hear that someone else spoils their wife.  I have one of those husbands too!  He's the best.  You're getting ready to be a better husband after your WLS and you feel better and have more energy....and healthier!!!  We're getting ready to make room for you on our "looser's bench"!!!  Way to go!!!

Congrats! I cannot wait to join you. Keep the bench warm for me!

  WOO HOO FOR YOU MICHAEL!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DATE. THAT IS MY 18TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY SO IT HAS TO BE A GOOD DAY!!

Michael Muffin!  I'm so happy for you!  Your surgery date will be here before you know it!  Stay on your pre-op diet because it makes it that much easier to transition to post-op eating.  By the way, are you VSG or RNY?  I'm sure I must know but can't recall!

Anyway, a big congratulations to you and enjoy the process!  It really is life changing!

By the way, my name is Kim and my husband is Michael.  I think you wife's name is Kim and you are Michael.  Funky, huh?
