London, but travel a lot to Paris, Milan, Zurich and NYC. Surgery on 1st August with Mr Appleton in High Wycombe, UK.

It was very amusing to hear their opinion on Aaron's labido issue

I don't thanks it's the calm before the storm. My surgery was 10 days ago and I was out of my bed using the toilet within 15 mins of getting back to my room. I had absolutely no pain at any point and didn't use any pain killers. I was discharged from hospital in under 48 hours and I'm going back to work tomorrow.
Everything I eat (purée until 4th Sept) goes down very nicely. I don't feel hungry and am currently losing the 7lb a week target my dietician has set.
I was walking the dog over a mile within 5 days of surgery and am planning a 5 mile walk today.
I have to say that I feel great, have loads of energy and don't feel like I've even had surgery.

39, BMI of 39, surgery on 1st August. Currently have high BP and borderline diabetes. Want a normal BMI by the time I'm 40!

I think I'm going to miss beer, champagne and chocolate

Outch on the cost! I have pretty decent insurance thru the hospital so mine is only going to be 850 US.
It's funny how people walk this world in denial isn't it? Type 2 diabetics are the only diabetics that can be "cured". Gastric bypass is the only known procedure that works for type 2 diabetics.
Well I am in the waiting on approval process of my journey. Im getting more and more anxious as the days slip by. My psych eval doc took way longer to get pw in so my 1 month vacation time is fast approaching and my insurance company is just receiving my paperwork. We will see how it all goes I guess .
How about you? Are you close to surgery date?
