Surgery Date Scheduled!

As an update to my insurance approval I received last Friday, I scheduled my surgery for May 20th!!!  I am ready...have lost 23 pounds since the end of January when I started this journey, have been working out on the treadmill, and most importantly the strength that comes from the support of family and friends.  I even went out and bought a blender and a few bottles of the Isopure Zero Carb from GNC to try.  My book indicates that the Nectar or Unjury is better tolerated....any feedback/suggestions would be great.  Thanks for all the kinds words and support!  Best Regards, Jack

Great News! Ass with all of us is hard to be patient. But it will be here before you know it.  C'ya Bob 

Congrats to ya!!

Super stoked for you Jack. May 20 will be here before you know it. Saving a seat on the Losers Bench. Welcome my friend.

Congrats and good luck!  I have my consultation with Dr. Houston next Monday.  I'm kind of curious about your surgery date.  I'm hoping to get scheduled for it in May too.  Guess I'll find out on the 21st LOL

Let me know it goes today with Dr. H?  I find him to be very direct, informative, and yet caring.  I appreciate his passion for what he does....the reason I chose him as my surgeon.  Let me know if you have any questions before you go....not sure I know that much, but willing to try.   Have you gone to any support groups yet?  Jack
