Tuesday is the Big Day - Thanks

I'm not sure if I will get to get online tomorrow (Monday) or not.  I leave for the hospital tomorrow morning and my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday.   I have to go a day early because I signed up for some special study on "fat cells".  They have to do more lab work plus a body scan...  They will extract some of my fat cells from various parts of my body during surgery.  Hell, they can have them all....   Since, the hospital is 4-5 hours from me, I'll leave around 10 am after stopping by our office and checking on business.    My wife can't stay the entire time.  She will stay until I get out of ICU or surgery then drive back to Houston.  She is gonna drive back up Thursday Night to take me home on Friday.  We own a business with 9 employees and so with payroll, etc. she has to get back to keep things running. I should be released on Friday (if no complications arise).  Probably won't get back online until around the 23rd of July. Mainly, I just want to say "Thank You" to each and everyone of you.  You have been such an inspiration to me on my journey.   And I know that when I return that each of you are standing by to answer questions and give me support.   Thank You.    Save me a spot on the bench. Your friend Mike Ray

Knock it out of the park, Mike. The hard part's done. Now there's nothin' to it, but to do it. Hurry back. DD 

Mike, Good luck with everything.  We will be pulling for you.

We're with you.  See you back here soon, Brian

Good luck, Mike. We'll be thinking of you. Try to take it easy tomorrow and realize that it's the last day of your old, obese life! Check in when you feel like it, but in the meantime, take care.

Good Luck Mike. May the FARTS be with you until your return from the other side of the knife. We got a reserved box seat for you.    And remeber to flatter the nurses,....they distribute the pain meds!!!! Joe

Mike, Go have the Greatest! We'll keep you a spot open!! Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Mike, I'll be thinking about you and you'll be in my prayers Tuesday.  Blessings, Bob.
