I was nervous before i got there but then once I was there i knew I was doing the right thing. My wife said she knew it to because i was relaxed while I was laying there waiting. I got this feeling that whatever was to come I was at peace with because I couldn't keep going the way I was. L.I.J. was great to me and I had Dr Geiss. I started at 316 on 4/15/08 liquids and lost 11lbs by 4/21/08 my surgery date. As of today 5/22/08 I am at 278lbs or 38lbs and feel great. I start solid food on Sunday I can't wait. The time goes fast after so don't sweat it. Follow the diet as close as possible and you will be all right. Good luck to all that are approaching your date and come to terms with yourself and say am I going to be better off than I am now. Big Dawg in Lindy:thumbup:
