Finally a date for surgery!

YEAH 4 U!!! I gotta go with Greg and DxE on the hard work part.  You've been throught the anxiety and frustration of getting approved and a date and all the red tape that goes with it.  Taxing at best! The 2 weeks pre-op diet requires discipline and commitment to the desire to do this.  It requires far more will power than post-op with the new pouch and NO physical hunger.  You just gotta tell yourself you are going to do this and make it happen.  Fudging reflects your commitment to this to your family.  You do well and you'll gain their respect for your choice and support after surgery. I am extremely glad for you.  Its been a bumpy start but you are on the entry ramp to the WLS interstate of a better quality of life.  You just gotta get around the loop before you step on the accelerator the day of surgery. Looking forward to the FARTS. Joe 

way to go bob,

the two weeks will fly by. after the surgery you won't even be interested in food anyway. so your weight should just start to fly off for the first month. i'm sure they just want to shrink your liver hence the liquid diet. show em what you're made of and hang in there. i know you can do it.....carbonblob

Great news! Things will seem to move both slow (sometimes) and fast (sometimes), but always in the right direction. Your spot on the bench is being polished and spiffed up, so hurry on over.

Bob, Great news. Its been a challenge at almost every step but, hopefully it will make you a better loser. Best of luck, you will be farting up a storm in no time.

Bob, Congratulations on getting your date. If anybody deserves it after working so hard, you do. I'm glad to hear everythings finally comming together for you. We'll spray some WD40 on your ass to keep your spot on the losers bench from being too rusty!  .   good luck on your liquid diet I know you'll do great. Dan
