May your family be patient in this delicate time and be ever supportive thereafter. We will be waiting for you once you wake. Please be sure to let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it. GO FORTH AND BE SLEEVED my friend! Your flowers await you! :-) Best of luck to you!

I am doing fine. Just waiting for the holidays so i can relax! And no.. i am no where near ready for the liquid diet. With that said, i think i might start early! Want to join me

Thanx olivers mom Tina, i know thats right. Sad thing is she keeps lying about what she has done. Today it was " oh ive been out for the past few days with the flu and dr bittner just handed me your file.... b.s. but whatever works. Im not in a rush. Just have to push my dom. Repub. Vacation back a few days (in may)

Ladies and Gents, I am starting to think that it is just me being depressed. I really thought that I would be a lot happier about having surgery and to me its just "blah" i guess. I think about it and am like O.K., I got approved, whats new? I believe I am soo used to having something that I want really bad not come to me or having to fight really hard to have it. Trust me, I am greatful, but I just cant shake the "ordinary" feeling. I have had a lot going on in these past weeks. I also am super pissed that the coordinator for the surgeons office was so damned pessimistic. She all but guaranteed that I would be denied due to her previous 1 experience. She doesnt return emails, nor phone calls unless i call her supervisor, the office is unorganized and I never can get any "great" information. So was her lack of enthusiasm rubbing off on me? I dont know. Sad thing is, the doctor is awesome.. He is new to the hospital and I must say, I dont think he knows the half of it.

2/8/13 is my day
