Well, Greg, as you read this, you are now a bandster. Congratulations. You are on the loser's bench now and as you go thru this journey, you will hit some bumps in the road. We all do. Don't be afraid to ask your questions and lean on any one of us for support. We've all been there. And there ARE no stupid questions....except the ones you don't ask. This was new to all of us at one time or another and we can share our experiences with you and when the next person comes along, you'll share yours with them. That's what makes us family. I am a wls support group leader here in Jacksonville and if there are any questions I can answer for you, I'd be delighted to. Hope to hear from you soon. Again, congrats. La Wanda

Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

Greg, Have the Greatest Ever on the 27th!! It’s good to see more guys out here on Obesity Help. We make up a small minority of the people having Weight Loss Surgery, but tend to lose down quicker and with fewer hassles than the women due to Male Physiology. Drop by the "Men's Message Board" at- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/ -to see how other Guys are doing with their surgeries. A lot of info and advice specifically tailored to Men. I’m just dropping by to let you know that there’s a huge crowd of strangers out here pulling for you and holding you in our prayers. May you have a famously successful surgery and a record-breaking recovery! Be nice to the nurses, Enjoy the drugs when you can, and most importantly, hurry home and start walking away from those pounds and into a new Life! Best Wishes-
