Today is the day before my surgery.  I took off from work to get prepared and to spend some time with my son Charlie.  I will be going to the surgeons office today for a final weigh in, so they can see how much I lost on the 2 week liquid diet.  Tomorrow, I have to be at the hospital by 8am and was told that if all goes well I will be home by thursday night in time for college football.  Over the past few days I have had many thoughts and doubts and concerns, but I also know that I have to change my life for the better so that I can be the best me and best daddy that I can be.  I am very thankfull for all the information I have gathered here on this forum from everyone that has taken this path before me.  Wish me luck.

Good Luck Mellowmen.   You'll be half the man you are today before you know it.  Hope all goes well and that you have a speedy recovery.

"be home by thursday night in time for college football." And you'll be tossin' round the pigskin with your son before you know it. GO DEEP, Mellomen!  Best of luck!

What helped me with the doubts/second thoughts was to just put the surgery out of my mind until after it was done.  You can overthink things like this really easy.  I just told myself that it's been done by thousands and thousands of people before me and that I'd be fine.  Best of luck tomorrow and beyond.

Hey neighbor, greetings from up the I.  I cant say more than what the other guys on here have said, just do what your doc says and stay the course, everything gets better day by day.  I cant say enough about what this surgery has done for me.  2-1/2 years post-op and I am at the best place in my life I've ever been, both physically and emotionally. 

Home by Thursday is good, just hope you dont have to come home to Gustov.  Be well and keep us posted of your progress.

BTW, what hospital are you having surgery at?
