Hello everyone....sending you a message from the hospital bed. My group requires an over night stay. So far, so good. Got out of bed as early as I could....took a long nap and got out some more to do my laps! Liitle pain...it's more like I've done a million crunches. Have some of the gas/shoulder pain, but feeling good over all. Hope all the 1st people are well....thinking about all of my new friends!

Leaving for surgery this morning. Feeling good...actually slept last night. My thoughts are with my fellow banders...good luck guys!!!

Good luck...I'm in tomorrow as well. I don't have my time yet...can't tell if I want it early or not. Kevin

Okay gang, last day of the pre-op diet, then tomorrow!! I just want this over/begin with (as you all know what I mean). I got on the scale today and it said 12lbs lighter. Whew! Thanks to my wonderful wife Pat for keeping me on track! I'm ready I'm willing and DAMMIT I AM ABLE!!!

Now I am not sure about things happening for a reason, but how is it that I try Hulu for the first time and come across a Scientific American video about surgical weight loss? http://www.hulu.com/watch/23360/scientific-american-frontiers-surgical-slimmers#s-p3-so-i0

We just need three more and we can become the dirty dozen!

Two more days, two more days until the rest of my life. God, I hope it's a great ride!

I'm getting banded on the 1st...and yes, the emotions are extremely high. Remember, you're not alone in any of this.

Friday is my date as well. To all of the July 1st people, I'll be thinking of you guys!!!

Good luck...we're all in the same boat...let's hope it holds! LOL I'm scheduled for this Friday (1st)....feeling all the same emotions.

At first I was quiet about it, but now most people. Figure it was a good motivator.

Had my final meeting with the doctor. July 1st is right around the corner! Lost 4 pounds since starting the pre-op diet.

Day our of pre-op...bad day yesterday, but back on today. Starting to doubt myself...I need a kick in my #%^!!
