Im new here and scheduled for the 22nd of this month

I'm a little nervous as you may imagine. I'm in the fasting stage. So starting today until after surgery nothings going in my mouth bu****er. This is tough, how do you think I got to this point? I will stay strong though, I have to.

Hi Jason. Good luck to you. Where are you located, and where are you having your surgery? Just a few more days now. Best wishes, Linda

Jason, did we meet at the pre op class at good sam last week? are you using the obesity institute at good Sam?

Yes, your right. How are you?Im doing good this is my second day of fasting and so far its much better than yesterday :-) So when is yours, or have you had it already? Thanks for the message.

jason. I thought it was you. I didnt get to post yesterday as i am recovering slowly. I had my surgery on friday the 16th came home on sunday. I am good, taking one day at a time right now. For some reason there are people that I meet that make an impression on me and I cant get them out of my mind. I am so glad that you signed on and we made contact. you are my end of the woods and hopefully I can be of help to you when you get home. I think you are having surgery tomarrow so I will try to make contact with you when you get home. I have lots of tricks for recovery now that I am a week ahead of you I wouldent mind sharing. right now I get up as much as possiable and move around but mostly use the reclyner and the pain meds on a regular basis. Its not easy but I promise it does get better. do you have a support group at home? wife? someone that can help you with stuff? Kelly

Jason, Welcome aboard! Hope all goes well tomorrow ... we will all be sending you positive thoughts. See you on the loser's bench Michele
