Six Days To Surgery

Rob Guthrie · June 22, 2011

Hello, everyone...obviously, I am new here. My VSG surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday (6/28/2011). Not sure how it works around here, though I am sure I will figure that out over the next few months. Like everyone, I'm sure, I really want to find a place where I can learn from people who have experienced the same type of thing (at various stages along the life journey)! So, if anyone reads this, please feel free to reach out!

I started blogging back in February, thinking I was going to (once again) get on top of this weight situation. Of course, I fizzled. But I decided to pick up the blogging again---I'd like to chronicle this rebirth; the new VSG journey on which I am embarking. You're welcome to check in and read, comment, suggest topics, etc. if you like. You'll find me here (http://www.greatredsharkblog.com).

Otherwise, I hope to meet a lot of you right here in the forum.

Congrats on getting through the surgery AND on the weight loss! Wow, you must be feeling the difference already! Starting a three-day clear liquid diet tomorrow (pre-op)...not looking forward to that, but otherwise I'm very excited to begin the journey. Cheers, Rob
