The date is set!!
Well, the big day has been set for Nov 16th at 7:30am. The surgeon has authorized me to take 6 weeks off work since I work in a prison...I'm not complaining, because now I'll have Thanksgiving AND Christmas off this year!!!! 
I am absolutely thrilled about that!
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 
Woo Hoo and a big congrats on getting your date AND 6 weeks off from work. You'll probably still be on liquids or purees during Thanksgiving, but it will be a good thing as you'll be on your way to a much healthier new you.
Before you know it, November 16 will be here and it's so exciting. Be sure to let us know as soon as you get home and are able to post here so that we can officially call you a Big Loser!
Great news........
Good friends are like stars.
You don't always see them but you always know they're there.
