Way to go, Tony. I remember they let my exercise physiologist/trainer make the call to me. He tried to tell me I was denied, but I could tell he was lying thru his teeth, the rascal!

You are going to be on one wild ride, man! It's awesome. Enjoy! Like an old Eagles' song states: "Relax, take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy!"

Jeez the hate is already coming down on me from people....Just have to brush them off my shoulder and keep it moving.

It's going to be a tough road ahead, but I will not let it bring me down
Forget all the haters, seriously. F 'em! This is you FINALLY caring about you like you should have been all along! You do this for TONY and they can just figure things out for themselves.

Default What a Coincidence....
My surgery date is July 10th....it's exactly one year since the first attempt to remove my gallbladder, which failed and I went through hell for 3 weeks, and made me considered having this surgery...
