Today I woke up at 4am, I guess it was my nerves. My surgery is scheduled for 11:45am so I tried to go back to sleep but it was not working. I was so nervous, all I wanted to do was get ready, get to the hospital and get everything started. The car service arrived at 9am to pick me up, we got to the hospital by 10am. I do all of my preop testing. Now im just waiting.

Best wishes for a safe effective outcome! Speedy recovery, too:)

Hope by now, it's all over and you're on the the road to the new you!!! Congrats!

1) the way I feel. No more inflammation in my joints, I feel comfortable in any thing I wear, I can tie my shoes without holding my breath..lol
2) the way I look, my confidence has come back, I make more eye contact during conversations and command respect.
3) my sex life...It been a while since I got my wife to climax in any other position other than her on top, but now I dont crush her as much I suppose and she gets multiple orgasms now from all different positions..Plus she seems more into me now..
4) the attention and flirting from the opposite sex (sometimes the same sex..lol) I must admit it feels good and its more noticeable to see these younger women flirting with me or looking at me in the gym or when Im out. I catch them sneaking peaks all the time now...Yeah boy!!! Feels nice to be noticed..
5) clothes shopping and dressing sharp, its so much more easy to find decent and stylish clothes in my size now..Not many modern brand names make a size 46 wiast and 2 xl shirt...Plus I look great in slim fit everything now!!
6) the fact that I have potentially increased my life span and reduced the probability of me getting ill in the near future.

My surgery date is on the 14th. I started the pre-op diet on Sunday. 1st day was easy today wasn’t so bad besides the headache at the end of the day. Good luck

NSV: so i randomly went jean shopping and the size 4 actually fit, and really fit. I thought i was going to have to squeeze into them for dear life lol. I've been fat my whole life so this is new to me. The fact that i'm actually a small still blows my mind, but yet the scale still says im overweight smh. I'm still going to view this as a victory.

I'm offended by children being abused and trafficked for sex. I'm annoyed that drug dealers do more time in prison than sex offenders. i don't lose /loose any sleep over spelling and grammar.
Have you considered you may be bashing and ridiculing people with learning disabilities for spelling and grammar. You might as well kick a puppy while you're at it.

Ironic. Someone posting about others Grammer hasn't got their own Grammer right. Perhaps people should just focus on themselves so they don't end up looking silly. It's just a forum not an essay. There are people on here from all walks of life.. Who perhaps type fast as they are busy with other tasks. Or have a learning difficulty. I don't care how someone types. I'm here to support people.

My throat is dry as a desert and my belly is made of hearts. Never got weight in. forgot to do it too. Here are some photos.   
Hope my November’s are doing great too!

I finally told someone I was having this done, she had it done in April at our local hospital, she's so excited for me. I told her how nervous I am about all the concerns I've read, she said not to worry, she did fantastic w hers, and said I'd do good w mine, I've had a lot of ortho surgeries and also brain surgery, so she said this will be easy for me pain wise. I'm glad I finally told someone, now I have someone to chat with about it.

Just wanted to share my progress picture. I've never been too fond of taking shirtless photos, because I've never been in shape.
Abs are beginning to form and I'm excited for it!
