David, Have the Greatest Ever on the 1st!! It’s good to see more guys out here on Obesity Help. We make up a small minority of the people having Weight Loss Surgery, but tend to lose down quicker and with fewer hassles than the women due to Male Physiology. Drop by the "Men's Message Board" at- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/ -to see how other Guys are doing with their surgeries. A lot of info and advice specifically tailored to Men. I’m just dropping by to let you know that there’s a huge crowd of strangers out here pulling for you and holding you in our prayers. May you have a famously successful surgery and a record-breaking recovery! Be nice to the nurses, Enjoy the drugs when you can, and most importantly, hurry home and start walking away from those pounds and into a new Life! Best Wishes-

Hello David - Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be thinking of you on your very special and life changing day. Wow, less then two weeks, can you believe it? I truly can imagine the MAGNITUDE of emotions you're experiencing right now. Hopefully, having your sister, Lisa, as a stellar example of the successes of WLS, coupled with all the positives that come with being healthy again, is enough to put your mind completely at ease. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Lisa for several years now, via the OH Forum. She's a very positive, intelligent and strong willed woman - I can't think of a better mentor to learn from and lean on as you REGAIN your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and speedy recovery. I'm truly believe that positive attitudes and a good sense of humor can be a big help in getting those results. You're about to be blessed with a second chance to live a healthier and thinner life. Granted, there can be some ROUGH spots along the way but NO worse then sitting life OUT, on the sidelines, in our over weight shells. Watch out world, WLS surgery will set you free and the sky is the limit! This surgery has been nothing short of a miracle for me and I will be forever grateful. I'll leave you with one of my FAVORITE quotes...... <i>"To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally <u>unlike</u> your past. Your history is not your destiny." -- Alan Cohen </i> ..... <b>So very true! : )</b>
