Hey HEY!!! Man the support is excellent around here. I love chatting in the room with you guys and hearing different Success Stories. I can't wait to be a loser and cross over to the other side. Im still somewhat kinda nervous. I have alot riding on this. Im head of household, 3 teenage children, 2 girls, 17,15, and 1 son, 13 yesterday, a wife, 2 cats...frisky and freddie, both males...recently widowed mom, and 2 sisters, 27, and 15. So as you can see I have to be of support to all of them and get things in order before surgery. I often wonder who is gonna "run" things while im incapacitated. Make sure the bills are paid, etc. Then my kids are steps, so whether they are gonna poison me when serving my food. ahahaha just/kidding. But Thanks for all the comments, I read them all!!! Some the exact moment they are sent. Feel free to share with me , the different products you are taking, whey protein etc., ones you tested and tasted to see what was best. Also although i go to the Dr. 11/22 for my pre op exam, im sure he will give me a list of things needed and to do list. Im looking forward and counting down the days. If he doesnt change the 11/3 date, im counting down 13 days to go !!
