Fat Daves last day...

Good Luck. My thoughts and prayers will go out for a safe and speedy recovery.

Hey my brother from another mother Good luck and I hope to soon join you no the loser's bench.

Dave, you have been an inspiration as FD and I know you are going to just triple that as SD. My thoughts and prayers are with you.  And I definitely want all the gory details.   Preacher Creature Bob.

DD, Good luck tomorrow!  Keep us posted on your progress.

Wishing you all the best.  May God Bless You. Terry G

Hey Dave, Best of luck to you tomorrow.........and please do me a favor and save me a spot near you on the Bench! All the best, Bill

Hey Dave, We appreciate you too, buddy. You're a valued part of this group of guys.  Dex is right about the meds, ask for something to calm your nerves a bit. I did, and it really helped. Well, actually, it just made me drunk and I didn't care what happened after that.  I would've been ok with anything short of "....and you're going to feel a little ***** in your mouth..." (you would have to knock me completely out for that one). After surgery, tell them to keep the pain meds coming. There's no sense in being in any pain. I had open RNY, the only pain I remember was during the process of standing up, that's it. I had a morphine button, and was not afraid to use it.  I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. You'll be back with the gory details before you know it. Ronnie

Looks like the whole country is rooting for your speedy recovery. My only advice is: walk walk walk walk walk walk walk. Make them ask you to change your route for fear of grinding a path in the hallway! Best to ya!--Jake

Dude - I am 43 and had the RNY 90 days ago.  I was 350 lbs.  Now I'm 280.  Thre is hope - keep the faith, and good luck!
