 Met with a new surgeon at another hospital.  Decided to go with this other hospital given its reputation and the experience of the doctor.  For a number of reasons, I am not able to get the surgery for another 4 months, but I am excited to say that I am scheduled for surgery on March 6, 2012.  I'm still eating like I'm in a "last meal" tour, but I hope to start tring to lose weight in advance of the surgery-  I understand that the surgery will likely go better if I have lost some wait, and I think it would be good to go into the weight loss with a 'running start'.  I looking forward to hopefully a major improvement in quality of life. I'm in pain all of the time currently, and I feel like I'm the center of attention when I'm in a room.  I have trouble fitting in seats in the movie theater, and arm chairs at work, which is extremely embarrassing.  Im tired of being out of breath whenever I walk a small distance, go up a couple of stairs, or taking care of my beautiful 9.5 month old baby.  She deserves better - I'm looking forward to being a more active father...
