Hi everyone, I had my pre-op yesterday and everything is a go for the 6th of December. I can't wait. I told Laurie Spaulding if someone backs out at the last minute to let me know I'm only 5 minutes away. She laughed...I was serious. The sooner I get this done, the better I'll be. Laurie is going to do a revision on me and she has decided not to take my stomach out since I've not had any more bleeding from my uclers since we began this process about 10 months ago. There is a growth however in my intestines she needs to look at and if needed it's going to be cut out along with my gall bladder. Who needs the gall bladder anyway. Can you tell I'm so excited to be having this. It's the start of a new life...one I can't wait to begin. Good luck to all of you who are also having the operation. You are all in my prayers. I'm going to the support group on Tuesday, December 5th the night before my operation just to talk to others who've had it done and get the last minute update as to what I can expect. Thanks to Laurie...I'll be a new man come December 6th!

Best of luck to you. My surgery date is Dec 13. I'll be in burlington the 5th for my last visit with Laurie before the big day.

congrats!

Congrats Glen on your weight loss, you must feel like a new man. I can't wait to get to my goal. I had the Lapband surgery so my weight loss will be slow, but that is okay. So far I have lost 52 lbs since June 1, so my goal is 100 lbs by June 1, 2007. Glad to hear from you. Cindy
