I am in Richardson. I am scheduled for my surgery on the 15th.

First off the HBO documentary is wonderful. It really is enlightening and quite sad to see what the future might hold for the children. I have watched it several times just to keep the motivation. It has just motivated me more for the surgery. After talking to several people who have had the surgery some more successful than others - they all say that they would do it again and that you have to change your habits and your mind set. This is NOT a cure, but a tool to help. I love the power steering reference - perfect. I am having surgery on the 15th and my mind has been going 90 to nothing for weeks now.

Randolph - I am doing the south beach diet for my pre-op. It shows I can have sugar free jello, or sugar free hard candy. Not sure if that will work for you, but it helps the sugar craving some what. I have my sugery on the 16th.

I have my surgery June 15th. My doctor has my on south beach phase 1. Started it Friday, June 1st. I am also looking for buddies as well.
