Yup

Saw the surgeons today and two months to get fit, rid of some weight and then the op.  Guessing end April early May.  Weighed in today at 271 pounds and walked just over 4 miles with some hills.  But my blood pressure was up so may have just been the worry of the interview, 144/90.  Will get it checked next week.  Ian.

Get ready!!!!  It goes much faster than you think.  And just to give you fair warning, surgery is just the beginning of the fun.  The ride really picks up speed after that.  I had surgery on August 30, 2011, at times it seems like a month ago, but today is 6 months ago.  Time flies when you are having the time of your life!!!!

Thank you.  I remember when I was writing my dissertation and a year evaporated in five minutes!
Did the four miles again today.   I know the op won't be easy as I have mesh from a prior op to be cut through, but I think the weight loss and all the hernias and reflux I have experienced will make it worth it.
