All,
I just wanted to let my "brothers and sisters of the leaf" know that I go in for surgery this Thursday morning. I will be in the hospital for 4-6 days and then recouping for another two weeks or so. I will be away from the computer for 3-4 weeks.
I am having bilio pancreatic diversion with a duo denal switch which is a form of bariatic surgery where they sew off a portion of my stomach to where it will only hold (4) ounces, and reroute my large intestines to where I only have 7 feet of large intestines from my stomach to the small intestines.
What this means is that I will onnly be able to digest 30% of all food that I eat, 30-40% of all carbohydrates, and 100% of all sugars. I expect to loose approximately 200 pounds in a little over a year or so.
Please say a prayer for me that my surgery goes well and that I recover in good time and a prayer for my wife as she has to take care of me while recovering.
Thank,
Matt
