well., Im at 3 days anc counting. I met with Dr V. yesterday, and he was very havppy that i lost 40 lbs since i last met with him. im down to 374.  Im really trying  wiht this weight loss. its really the 1sxt time weight loss really "clicked with me" .  i know i can do it. im exercising every day, and have a great support team. Co-workers have been great and understanding what I need to do.

the only thing im concerned wiht at this point is that i feel i should be more worried,.  i feel pretty good about the whole thing. I gues in my mind I know that i have done what i can to make the surgery go as smoothly as possible. Its in Dr. V hands and Gods at this point.

I have 2 great kids that i love more then anything in this world, and would hate to see them in pain if anyhting was to ever happen to me.  NOT THAT IT IS !!!! 
 

Ill post more later. Thanks for reading..

 

Well the  day is comming fast... 5 Days until surgery and a NEW ME !  im very Excited about it all, though still scared about what could happen.
I have 2 wonderful boys and a great wife that I love will all my heart and would hate to leave them. SO I AM NOT GOING TO.
i had a nice chate with GOD today on my 1.5 mile walk at lunch.  I know it in hands, but hey I thought I could ask for some help. 
My sister is watching out for me.. Right Kelly !

I cannnot wait to be able to run and play like i should be able to wiht my children.  They to will benefit from my weight loss.
because I promised to be outside more with them. 
Work will still be here when I get back.. and Im looking forward to the time off and taking my time to recover.
Im very lucky to have an employer that will give me the time off with no loss of vacation time and still get paid.
tonight  im going to Julies support group meeting at Roger Williams, with my wife.
I hope they might be abel to answre some of the questions that she might have about the process and recovery.
Later.

Well,  time is comming fast... I have less then 2 weeks before my surgery date. Very secure in my decision to go forward with Gastric bypas. 
I have my life in the hands of God. I feel I have made the right decision, and that if I dont go thru with this, that I will NOT be around to see my kids grow up.
I have a very suportive wife, and family.  My brother and sister will be down to help me with the recovery, and to see me thru the operation.  My mom and dad are in Fla.  Though I know that they support me in my decision. My sister went thru this about 6 or 7 years aago. She has done a great job with loosing the weight she has needed to. 
the thing that worries me most about this whole thing is leaving my boys behind where they will not be able to see ther e dad anymore. The pain this is causing me is the same reason im going thru with this. I need to make sure im around for them.  My wife and I have decieded not to tell the boys until the weekend before the operation.  My older boy will dwell on it and he does not need to do this.
well, will be back later to post some more thoughts, and concerns of mine.
