Hello to all

I'm a 56 years old, 400lbs guy who is currently jumping through the hoops in order to have the surgery.

I'm scheduled for 1/26/09 if all the testing is completed by them. I don't mind saying that I'm scared to death about the operation and some of the tests performed. I keep going because I know that it will add years to my life . At least the quality of life will improve. I* will return. John

Thanks Irene, It has already and I suspect it will continue:thumbup:

Hi John,

Greetings from your neck of the woods!

I am scheduled for surgery on 12/18 at Ellis Hosp. Tuesday I start the 4 weeks of Medifast. It's been a long journey, but I have learned so much along the way, mostly from this very site.

I wish you the best

Your Adirondack neighbor,

Hello Annie , Thanks for the kind words and congrats to you and your prince. Keep in touch, I would like to know how you are doing on the Medifast. Good luck John...
