In preparation for surgery...

Hi again

I live and work (in a law firm) in Toronto and will be turning 40 in October - single with no children.  Aside from my weight, I'm actually quite healthy.  My bp is fine, no signs of diabetes, cholesterol level is fine, etc. etc. - it's just my weight that's in large excess - oh and I have sleep apnea and really want to try and get rid of it. No, I don't have to stay at a hotel - I'm probably just taking a cab in the morning of my surgery and my mum will meet me at the hospital.  I'll be going back to her home for the remainder of the week and she'll be looking after me.  Fortunately, my mum is a retired nurse and can help to assess any problems I may have and will know how to look after me.  I'm very lucky in that sense.
