On my way

Aug 17, 2010

So I'm a dad and a husband and had my father go through two heart attacks and die from the second one before he was 70 after decades of pills and battling hypertension and gout. I'm determined not to go that way and stick around for my family as long as I can, and to have fun doing it!

So, two days to surgery, heading down from a peak of 331lbs last winter, now at 312lbs.  Dr. Cirangle and LapSF have been great so far, but I have some anxiety, some of which is  about silly things like "what if my stomach stays swollen?" (I know that won't happen) and some of it is about real things like, well, who am I going to be after I lose this stuff that's been part of me since I was a wee little lad? And how much pain am I going to be in post coming out of anesthesia? And.. being able to drink less than 20 oz. In a day?? 

Thanks for this forum. I'll be back!
