Hi everyone,

First, I just wanted to say thank you again to each and everyone of you for all the support throughout this journey.  The decision between lapband and the gastro bypass was challenging, but I am confident that with all the research, that I have made the right decision. 

You guys are sooooo educated and smart, and I really do appreciate all the help.

Unless, I get a call tonight, my surgery is scheduled for 1:30 pm tomorrow.  I have to be at the hospital at 11.  I am on a liquid diet today.  So far, not to bad, but I am a bit hungry.  i have been having mostly broth.  I hope the week of liquid following the surgery is a little easier than today since my stomach will be smaller.  I hope.

I am just starting to get a little bit nervous as my rattling shows, thinking about the pain, the cathedar (more painful for a guy I think) and the IV.

I think I have packed everything I need.  Just have to take a shower in the morning and go.

Thanks again everyone.

Thank you, I appreciate the good words.  I am having the bypass today.

Funny, I told my best friend, if anything should go wrong, I will save him a seat next to me in heaven.  And if it is hot where I am going, then I will save him  a seat right in front of me....lol

I'm no dummy.

See you soon,
Geoff

WOW .. Some one's up early !!!

Nothing will go wrong!! Get that out of your head!! You'll be back on the boards in three days stating how it hurst like a &#^@!$@, and what did you do ?!?!? The next day you'll say it hurst less, and that you are starting your liquids and ask if anyone has advice. In a week, you're gonna hate liquids, and can't wait to for mushies .. either way, you'll be RIGHT HERE and NOW WHERE ELSE !!
Good Luck on your Journey !!
