Welcome Hugh! Hi Ya I'm pre-op also. My date is next Tuesday the 25th!  This is a great bunch of people and you can ask anything and get an answer.  I mean anything.  Sometimes you go "hum, TMI?" LOL   But nothing is off limits if it's about your sleeve and your health.  Blow Kiss

Thank you for the welcome!  I will keep you in my prayers.  I will keep you as well as Janelle both before God and ask for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. Hugh

Kristin: You just send your tubby hubby MY way!  Together we will convince him to do the job, take a vacation here to Deep South Texas, let you and any little ones you may have frolic on the beach on South Padre Island while I escort him to the doctor in Matamoros!  All I ask is that you keep an eye on my short ones while I hold hubby's hand!   Seriously, if you need help with anything; if you or your husband have any questions;  I would be glad to help. Hugh

Hi Hugh-Welcome to the board.  I love reading successful posts as I am scheduled to have my surgery in about 10 day1.  I am glad you are doing so well and I am glad your wife found us.  We are a great bunch of losers here. Carole

I will keep you in my prayers.  I hope all goes well for you.  Thanks for the welcome.  I have lost before but this time it feels like CHEATING!

To Dennie E., Talia 9, Cheyenne, and Sadsushi:   Thank you all for the kind words of welcome and the words of encouragement.  I am sorry that I could not respond to each individually but I do actually want to get other things done.   I hope this group thanks will suffice.  I look forward to chatting with you all in the future and I hope to become a valuable member of this community.   Hugh

Hi Hugh!!! Welcome!!! You had the best surgery! It's amazing how satisfied I am with eating so little. Pre op people just can't wrap their mind around it (I know i couldn't) because they think they will feel deprived or something. I just love my sleeve!!! It's great to have you here! This is a wonderful support group! Teresa
