Coming up quick. Good Luck Mellowman, and we'll be waiting for you on the other side.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

Less than a month, Clapton so your timing is coming up fast.

"Are you ready?"  Can you name the band? Hint: They're from America.

Good Luck Fellows,

Just count on a couple of years of conscious post-op behavior modification. The first 8-12 months may be a cakewalk, but after that it will take considerable effort to lose weight. I would say follow your docs diet advice to the tee, but maybe hit the exercise harder your first two years. In other words, not necessarily a program that you can continue your whole life, but one that you can do for those first two years until all of your excess weight is off.

Once it's off, it seems to be much easier to maintain than before surgery.

Best Wishes,

Dave
