Default OMG Looks like I wil be a firecracker!!!

Hey guys n gals, as the title says after yesterdays visit to my surgeon I can now announce that I will be a firecracker with my GBP now slated for 31st of July!! I am really happy about it as it sees me reach the goal I set out for over a year ago now , and esp happy that I will be in July as I was really struggling to find as catchy of a name for August as Firecracker was for July (jk). I have only 5 days now till it all begins for me I am excited and have really enjoyed the build up to this. I am still a non smoker and kept to my optifast diet ( yech , I really hate optifast) so that is all ticks in the boxes.Its all become so exciting again!!!

Thanks everyone , yes my Dr is keen as to get me in , he assures me that the month he spent in germany wasnt just a soccer holiday, and was very excited after working in a team that was doing 5 GBPs a day under another surgeon that was completing about 2000 WLS per year, he is all pumped from this lol. It is odd to have an excited surgeon , but I do feel safe with this guys abilities
