Em-route to the hospital as I type this for my 6:00am EST check-in for VSG! So excited and would just like some additional prayers up for a non-complicated surgery. See you all on the Loser's bench!

Thank you the well wishes everyone.

My doc only allowed me to stay overnight. I was doing extremely well after the first 24 hours. My surgery was scheduled for 7:30am - went to recovery by 10:30am and started walking by 2pm.

Which helped tremendously. Currently home now and sipping every 10-15 minutes on Protein Shake @ Gatorade.
