New Member-Surgery 2 weeks from today!

[TxCop300 15]

Howdy from Texas!

45 year old male here who has been battling obesity for several years. The straw that broke the camels back was realizing that bad ankles, knees and hips along with diabetes and high blood pressure are going to kill me. I got tired in looking in the mirror and seeing that reflection of what I had become through laziness, bad self esteem, and poor choices. I decided it was time to get serious...and get serious now!

So, now I have started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet, and I am scheduled for surgery two weeks from today. I know it's a long road to achieve my goal, but I am beyond ready. I'm not nervous, which concerns me a little, but I am very anxious to get this procedure done and start seeing the effects. I can't wait to get my energy back, pain relief, and hopefully throwing my meds in the trash!

I'm glad I found this site. It is a wealth of information and I hope to establish a few new friendships as well.

My surgery is scheduled in 2 weeks as well, I am so ready to start with my sleeve, I need to have my band removed at the same time. Little more complicated sugary but I am ready.
