Surgery Thursday 2/18/10

Hi,
 I am Wilburn and my surgery is schedualed for this coming thursday. This is coming uo much sooner than I expected. Someone canceled out and they asked me if I wanted to take the slot. I agreed immediately. Looking forward to losing this weight and becoming a more healthy active person. I have been on more diets than I can count. The last one was Nutrisystem and I lost 100 libs in about 6 months but as usual gained it all back then some. That diet ended about 2 years ago I guess, I had just given up but I have tomany peopel dependent on me.

I have been to one support group meeting and I enjoyed the company of the others. I am looking forward to continuing with that.

My surgeon is Dr. John Mathews located in Birmingham, Alabama. I fell very comfortable with him and his wonderful staff.

 I have sleep apnea, diabetes and hign blood presure.  I started managing my diabetes a few months ago and have lost about 20 of my almost 400 lbs.

Best of luck with your surgery Wilburn! I had mine recently, and although I gripe all the time about every little thing, I am very glad I did it. I'm moving over for you on the losers' bench.

Rhonda

Thank You All!
