Short and Chunky

Daddy D Congrats on making the big step to have the surgery done. I am having mine done on July 7th and I have told a number of people. The reason I told them was the last time I lost a bunch of weight (weight watchers - 90 pounds and found it all a year later) was when you loose a bunch of weight people think you are"sick" or has cancer of something. I decided to be honest and up front. It is also a support group for me. I am on the pre-op diet and have lost 8 pound this week (weight watchers does work just not forever). The people I have told are very supportive and can't wait to see me loose more weight. My plan is to loose 100-120 pounds so the journey will be a long one but I want to see my Grandchildren grow-up and I don't want to have health problems along the way. No matter what you decide - it is your decision and it is the best one for you. Congratulations again and remember that we are always here for you !!!

I will have mine done sometime in June too. Waiting to hear the actual date now. Looking forward to having this done and moving on with life.
