Title: Going Under the Knife
Post by: Stogie Vol on June 15, 2013, 06:15:32 EDT
I'm having surgery on Monday, June 24th to have a Biliary Pancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch for weight loss.

If anyone has had this or know someone who has, I'd appreciate any experiences that you could share. Otherwise, I'd appreciate your prayers.  Thanks.

E, it's a fake post. Stogie is tired of us telling him he's getting too big for his britches lately.

I've lost over 20lbs so far on the preop diet. I'll keep everyone updated.  I'm really excited about this so I can be more active with my kids, get back into athletics, live longer, etc. I know it's not an easy way out, I will be forced to change my eating habits, but to really be healthy, I'll need to get active.

Thanks again everyone for the support.
