Default Thank you

Thank you all.
I feel better about the surgery. I don't have a whole lot to remove. I have lost 190 lbs and need to lose another 17 lbs to be elegible for the surgery.

I will only have about 10 lbs removed. I have worked my butt off (literely).
I weigh 250 lbs now so will end up after surgert about 225 lbs. At 6'2" I feel that is a great weight to be at.

I spoke to the surgen again and they will be putting a lidocane pump in the incision so I shouldn't have a lot of pain. He said I should be back to work after about 3 weeks. I sit a lot and will have to wear a belt for about 6 weeks.

The only bummer is they will not take my boobs away. Oh well at 58 I guess something is going to sag somewhere.

I will miss working out for all that time. I do about 1 1/2 hrs every day. That's why I don't have a ton to remove. I just can't get any more to come off the apron.

Again thank you all.

Tim
