I had my pre-op visit with Dr. Michael Snyder. We are set for 1-22. Everything went well. I was thinking that I would need to start the liquid diet for the two weeks prior to the surgery, but only have to do a liquid diet for 24 hours. I weighed in at 301 lbs. Dr Snyder thinks I could be down 100 lbs. in 8 months. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. I pray that I can get rid of all these things. My cousin did, and he is the one who recommended this to me.

All the best :-)

I had my last visit to have an upper EDG before my scheduled surgery this Friday. The doctor said there was inflamation in the esophogus, and stomach. That will need to be healed before they can move on with the surgery. Still not sure what caused that. I am really bumbed. They did a biopsie to see what the cause may be.
