No More CPAP?
At least do yourself a favor and request an overnight oximetry. It won't count your AHI but it will see the desaturation. With sleep apnea you will see the correlation between your heart rate and your desaturations. The pattern will look like a saw if you still have sleep apnea. It is a cheap test and you do it overnight while you sleep. FYI. The standard for somebody to need supplemental oxygen is 88% or lower for more than 5 minutes of the night. Your brain uses approximately 30% of the oxygen that you intake. It's one of those things you want to make sure you do it right.

Scary noises
Somehow my family doesn't worry about strange noises... Our front yard. At the range. A day of fun Up in the woods. Teaching my boy to count and the metric system at the same time. My sweetie with my then new .38 special. Strange noises don't seem to bother us...

What's your favourite...
My favorite lyrics can be found in garages, on the street, on the drag strip, a circle track... you get the idea. If it's 8 cylinders, loud and has lots of horsepower it is playing my favorite song. I literally just took this photo a couple of minutes ago as I was walking out of my office. This is the shirt that I was wearing under my work shirt. Although I probably shouldn't admit this I do love the song of two lovely cylinders as well. This is not my bike, mine is currently broken :-( I did however "borrow" this bike yesterday from my coworker after he went home. I took it up a nice twisty road and had a lot of fun while getting it over a hundred plus miles an hour multiple times. I'm not always the brightest one. Damn horsepower! It is addictive...

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but you really need to search his name on Google. He has a horrible reputation as of late. Including deaths.

Go Pro Camera - does anyone have one etc.?
I have a go pro 4 black. It is the one that will shoot 4k video. It is a great video camera but I have 5 64gb memory cards and 6 batteries to get me through a day of vacation. It will also do.still photos but because the angle is so wide you will have problems with straight lines being curved. Some examples below. I kept the horizon straight but the parking lot and barriers in front of me are straight as well. The horizon is curved in this one. this was also shot with the go pro and I figured out the perfect angle to avoid any curves other than my wife's. This is why I bought it though, this is a screen capture from me swimming in the Pacific Ocean with dolphins.

Back in my boat!
Mine isn't proper. She's ancient and but I love her. Her name is Princess Otter and we have been so many places together I can't let go. Kayaking is awesome- there is something very therapeutic about bobbing around, watching the world float by. I'm pretty sure these guys were laughing at me doing absolutely nothing in their backyard. ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1466128160.068513.jpg Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It's all good so long as I can tote a Glock to deal with the local gators & snakes. I had a Sig Sauer 229 fail on me with a grain of sand caught in the slide. I NEEDED that gun to work and it didn't. I haven't carried a semi auto for personal defense since that day. I now carry a Ruger LCRX in the .38 special +p variety. It is just over a pound loaded with 5 rounds. I don't need 10+ rounds.

Guys, I don't like bacon anymore!
Yes, please save the animals for the rest of us carnivores.

What are you looking forward to?
To once again not being afraid of anything with 4 legs, I'm not talking about animals, I'm taking about these plastic reminders of my weight.

Dr KindaFamiliar will be available to answer your questions...
Dr K. Why is that I feel the need to ask you questions while sitting on a toilet? CHM. Somewhere along the line I have missed your boobs but I'm going to respond for most men. When the conversation turns to boobies we have no desire to continue intelligent conversation. Boobs is the start and the end of a conversation the rest is just foreplay.

Guys, I don't like bacon anymore!
Spaghetti sandwich? There is someone else who used to do that besides me? Spaghetti, home made spicy sausage and mushroom sauce that had reduced all day on a simmer, miracle whip and a slice of havarti on soft white bread. It's no wonder that I gained weight...

I had bacon wrapped shrimp last night for dinner. Mmmmm!

Options for my smoker?
This is the smoker. You have to watch your temperature on the meats that you are cooking. For example I usually do pork butt 160 degrees but brisket is 200 degrees. I always smoke at 225 degrees of smoker temperature. Obviously it takes longer to get hotter as well as with a larger piece of meat. I also use a wireless thermometer. You can see the probe and several of those pictures. I leave it in full-time and monitor it from the comfort of my sofa. You have to keep adding soaked wood chips every half hour to 45 minutes for the first half of the cook at a minimum. Some items like my brisket I pull and 160 degrees and wrap and heavy aluminum foil and then return it to the smoker to continue cooking to its ideal temperature. This creates more moisture than what you would have otherwise. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Masterbuilt-30-in-2-Door-Propane-Gas-Smoker-20051311/203495099

Options for my smoker?
I use propane. I'm a caveman at heart and I believe that man was meant to cook with flame. Nothing against the electric just my preference. Mine is the one commonly available at home Depot for about $180ish.

Starting to wear my old clothing again.
When I was in my early 20's and I rode motorcycles a lot, I had a black 2xl button up shirt that had blue, silver and white flames running from the bottom up. When that shirt died I bought a similar 2xl with traditional colored flames and it didn't fit. That was 15 years ago and I always said that I would wear it. It isn't my style now but as soon as it fits I'm going to wear that sucker non stop!

Options for my smoker?
I've never done fish for some reason. We are going on a bottom fishing trip in July and I do plan on smoking a fair portion of our catch. We can keep 7 rock fish and 2 Ling Cod per person. There will be 3 of us. Unfortunately we will be about 10 days too late for crabbing. Pardon the fat man port but this is one of my turkeys.

I'm a swimmer!
Next goal, mile swim! I did it in 99 . It was the longest 1:42 of my life but I did it! I was the Shooting Sports Director at Camp Makualla in Cresent, OR for 6 seasons. I loved every minute of it!

Options for my smoker?
I love, love, love my smoker! I smoked pork butts and chicken quite a bit. At Thanksgiving I always smoke a couple of turkeys for all of the people that we have over here. All of the rubs that I use are made by me. I don't use hardly any salt and when I do it is Kosher salt. I do however sometimes use brown sugar. I am looking for appropriate alternatives for cream cheese, meat rubs and bacon wrapping. Does anybody have any thoughts? Some examples; Brisket Bacon wrapped chicken thighs with mushroom, onion, garlic and parsley stuffing. St Louis ribs Pork butt Atomic buffalo turds (jalapeño, cream cheese, shredded smoked pork and bacon.

What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?
Ride my bicycle to work. It is only 5.2 miles one way but it really is uphill both ways. Downhill to the river, uphill to the office. Downhill to the river, uphill home. As crazy as it sounds, I've always wanted to do a one handed push up and do a push up so fast that I can clap before putting my hands back down.

How has your sex life changed since surgery/weightloss?
I'm pre surgery but I have to say that my wife majored in psychology with a large portion of the major being dedicated to abnormal sexualality. I swear that I'm a thesis paper in the making. We are quite passionate and sex is amazing. If it gets better than this I don't know if I will be able to walk again!

Things we dont have to worry about anymore!
I have a 27" inseam. I've been building a truck for me to use as my daily driver. For me to sit comfortably and push my foot all of the way to the floor on the clutch pedal I was going to have to shorten the steering column because my stomach would rub the steering wheel. By the time it will be running I won't have to worry about it!
