BowlingHooker

My balls are 15 lbs each. When I see my surgeon Wednesday, I will ask him how long he wants me to wait before I can bowl. Need to know that soon so if I can't start the season, I can start finding some substitutes to bowl in my place until I'm released to bowl.

I was wondering about that too because I am in 4 leagues and the season starts the 2nd week of August. I'll get my surgery date next week but my surgeon assured me it will be in July. So thats good, 4-5 weeks isnt bad. Hopefully I will be able to bowl the 1st week. What I'm also looking forward to is to bowl better with less weight. My average used to be in the 190s but over the last 10 years I've slowly put on weight and last year I quit smoking and gained an awful 75 lbs. Last season was my worst season bowling and I attribute it to the extra weight. I get tired quick, I can't get the ball out on the lanes like I used to and with my wide body, its hard to get "lined up" for my shot. I ended this past season with a 177 average which was the highest of my 4 leagues. I am really hoping that this weight loss will start me on the road to a 190+ average for this season.

I had an echo with a IV that they put some isotope in it so they can see better. Results werent good so they did an angiogram and the arteries are not clogged so my heart problem is weight related so I was okayed for the surgery. The last item was the endoscopy 2 weeks ago and I have a hiatal hernia that I guess they can fix during surgery. Now I wait for a surgery date. I wish they had given me a surgery date first because I wanted it in June, now he's booked for June. I'm not happy about that. I've told them since December that I wanted the surgery in June. Now I wait...
