Gentlemen Start Your Engines! 48hrs!

Well that went by pretty quick!  Two weeks gone...Well fella's in Two Days, 48 Hours I'll be coming over to the Losers Side, I never thought I wanted to be on the Losers Team before now.  But seeing is that you need another Teammate, here I come!
I Guess I'm a mix between Excited & Nervous right now.  But I'm definitely Confident.  Mainly because of all of the information and Support from you guy's!   Why hell DX knows so much I'd probably let him do my Surgery (lol)!!!  So thank you all again!

And what the hell is this dam Woodpecker been doing outside my Friggin' Condo all Morning?  Is this some sort of Sign, a Woodpecker?!  All Morning long he's been just tearin' this Tree apart.


Thanks Guys For Everything!
Rocko~~

P.S.  I did some updates on my Pro-file page :-)

A very anxious perod to say the least.  It will be over  very soon and the hunger will be gone. I recommend visiting people, pick out a list of DVDs to watch during recovery, and stay close to the PC and internet research.  There are a lot of good (and bad) info and WLS websites out there.   This website with the before and after pics and people to chat with that understand was a tremendous help to me, espcially when all the kids were in school and wife was at work and I was alone to sip, walk, and sleep. AAaahhh, theres another thing to do, pick yourself out a walking course  so you have an idea of mileage.  Althugh at first, I would focus more on walking  for 10-15 minutes and grow that as you feel able.  I would just walk out for 15 and at that point turn-around and head home for a 30 min walk.  I wasn't so concerned about distance as I was about regaining stamina. You are doing GREAT.  I can hardly weight to hear your hospital stories and recovery experiences. Water and Ice will soon be your friend, at least for a couple of weeks.  Best wishes for a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. Joe

Rock, As hard as it will be, Get as much sleep as you can these last couple of days before surgery> Walk, breathe deep, and Sleep! Recovery will go faster and easier for "the rested." Have a Great One! Best Wishes- Dx

Yo Rocko! Best of luck to ya, man...........can't wait to hear more about your adventures on the LOSING side of life!   And I look forward to joining you (and the rest of these crazy dudes!) when I get my surgery in June! Bill

Hey Rocko, Well the time is almost here. It'll be over before you know it.  And soon you can brag that you also are a "LOSER". Best of luck to you. I hope you have an uneventful surgery and a painless and fast recovery.   I look forwrd to talking to you again after your surgery.   Dan
