Lurking Here For A While, Just Got A Surgery Date - 11/15

[mrchris 98]

Been thinking about doing this for a long time. Finally pulled the trigger, got all the tests done and a date scheduled. It's actually happening a little faster than I expected (just 2 weeks from the day I scheduled it). But I think that's a good thing so I don't have too long to freak out about it.

Dr. Srikanth is doing the surgery, will be doing it at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland. I've known Dr. Srikanth for 8 or 9 years and I don't know I'd ever do it had it not been for him. I'm not looking forward to the 10 day clear liquid pre-op diet but I guess it could be worse. My wife and kids are really excited and I know it's a good decision, but I'm sure the nervousness is pretty standard for everyone.

It is only natural to be nerveous, but you are heading towards the first day of your new life!. You will be so happy and excited when the weight comes off that you will never be nerveous again. The clear diet is hard, not going to lie, but you can do it! Congratulations!
