    I was starting to think I was the only local here! Lol. I know, it's crazy close and I'm all over the place! So much running through my head. So glad things have gone good for you since post open. How much are you down? How long were you in hospital for? Just had endoscopy done last week, guess I have a hernia so they will be taking that out as well. Heelllllllllllooooooo neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok, so Monday is the big day for me. I am to arrive at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY at 5:45am. I'm seriously beyond anxious, excited and now very nervous. I'm so looking forward to a new amazing future, but the whole surgery part is finally hitting me. My program only requires a 24 hour clear, sugar free liquid diet, which I have now officially started. Tomorrow my friend will be coming over and she will be sleeping over and we will do final pictures and official inches of the soon to be old me. I look forward to this new life more then words can describe, but nerves are shot. Will keep everyone post.

    I've finally gone through all my clearances and I get my date September 18th. From what they said they expect it to be the week of October 18th. I'm soooooo anxious at this point. I started at 250, and am now 237. Any October buddies out there? :-)

    Had my surgery this past Monday, 10/07/13, and got home Thursday evening from hospital. Everything went great, been sipping and walking and doing what I need to. Pain is moderate and with sipping and walking is fading away. Down just about 20 pounds and already off four meds and testing shows no longer pre diabetic. My incisions look great and were glued, no stapling or stitching.

    Sleeved this past Monday 10/07/13, released yesterday. Moderate discomfort, walking in uncomfortable but a must, love my Percocet, and trying to stay on top of drinking. Kept an extra day for not taking in enough Fluid which I'm finding hard to do. Incisions look great.

    Auntie Vick & Brickhouse,
