I did get the extra time off and i am glad i did. Knowing how much you can eat is different with each meal you eat. I am glad i have the extra time to explore.

You know I almost hate having testing anymore, sure I make it through but there is always an addendum. Chest/Abdominal MRI. to check Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm- " Surprise you have a noticable Renal cyst on 1 kidney: My question? Which one? I have 3.
Now neck Cat Scan to check what's causing neck pain that increases daily " Ahhh-em You have a thyroid nodule, you better notify your PCP and have further testing and scans. When I was scanned for bladder problems they announced I had diveriticuli in my lower left colon. They had better hurry up and get me fixed up, it gets increasingly hard to find replacement parts for a mid 1940s jalopy like me, pretty soon we will have to resort to binders twine and bailing wire to repair, not only will I be on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, I will BE the Blue Collar Your. I can see Jeff Foxworthy over my inert body ." If your doctors have to resort to___ and ___ , you might be a Redneck!"
Someone once said to take life with a grain of salt, shoot I'm the whole blue box of Morton's now, can't even hope for Diamond, just generic Morton's.

I'm 50 and going through my pre-op workup now. I also feel like most people have this surgery earlier in life but this is when I finally realized that it was the option for me so I'm going to pursue it. Good luck to you. I'm hoping for a date in May. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations on your upcoming date Denise! Yep, took me a long time to finally have my “aha” moment but thank God I did. Good luck and may your pre op process be smooth sailing ⛵️
