Howdy... Long-time reader, first-time poster... I've been lurking here for a few months, since my PCP first recommended I investigate bariatric surgery.  He recommended the Center for Weight Management at UTMB (Galveston, TX), and I first attended a seminar with them in November.  I started pre-approval work with them in January, and got my insurance approval in April on the first try. I'm supposed to show up at the hospital at 7 AM tomorrow.  I've just finished chugging a full 1.5 oz bottle of Fleet Phospho-soda (diluted in 80 oz of Gatorade G2) and am wondering if I'm going to get a chance to finish this message before it takes effect...

Good luck. I am sure things will be fine.

Work is for those who don't know how to fish.

Good Luck tomorrow Mike.  I will pray for a safe and speedy recovery.  Just remember to sip, sip , sip your water and walk, walk, walk as much and as soon as you can.  Glad you found the Men's Forum and became a poster.  Great bunch of guys on here who are very knowledgeable.

Good luck tomorrow, I will be thinking of you all morning.  I am sure things will go well for you. I hope you have the minimal discomfort and rapid recovery that I have had.  I feel better than I have in a long time.

Update... Surgery went smooth as buttah this morning. 1st walk about 4 hours after surgery was kinda rough due to gas pain, but a 4-hr nap, a couple of good burps, and a few more hits of the morphine pump later my second set of laps around the ward were easy. Looking forward to barium swallow test tomorrow...
