Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hey everybody, I was talking on the phone tonight and just casually mentioned, " Oh yeah, I leave for San Diego next Friday. " And then it hit me! NEXT FRIDAY! NEXT FRIDAY!!! I am more scared of flying that I am of the surgery, thanks to all I have read and all of your posts, along with obesityhelp.com. I know I can do this. I know it will be hard. But, I am SO looking forward to borrowing my SON'S clothes LOL!!! And running! And living again! Thank you to for being such an amazing angel and for all the encouragement I have received from others (Gemello, Gordy, Sunbrae, et al.) What's cool is, people are already noticing that I am losing weight. They ain't seen nothing yet! Keep in your prayers as she goes " under the knife " Wednesday and save a few for me for Monday, September 13. It will be a strange weekend...my wife and I fly down on the 10th, which is our 21st anniversary, get to enjoy San Diego Friday - Sunday (except for the liquid diet, LOL) and then, my new life as a loser begins. What an anniversary gift to ME! What a long strange trip, it's been. Rory 425/370/190-210 Dr. Tanaka LAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hey Rory.... good luck on your surgery and make sure you keep us posted on your results, etc. we will be thinking of you and praying for a smooth operation and a speedy recovery. As far as helping you through the process...I thank you for all your help in my journey as well. Just think in about a year you will be celebrating you new successes. maybe you should start conjuring up a design for a new tattoo or something like all the ladies seem to be doing as a commemorative to their success after a year. I think I'm going to treat myself to a trip to Alaska when my year rolls around. Not sure if you were kidding about being scared of the plane flight but I'd like to share that I had phobias about flying for awhile and the thing that helped make it easier for me was a flight down the California coast. I was able to check out the topography of the coastal hills and I found it to be very interesting which kept my mind off the flight itself. The other thing that helped me was remembering that no one, including the pilots want to be in a plane crash and they were going to do everything in their power not to let that happen....it's very calming. Happy Anniversary to you and your wife.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Rory, just wanted to wish you the best of luck, and a speedy recovery. I follow you to San Diego a week later. My surgery is on September 21 with Dr. Leo . Where are you staying in San Diego, and how long do you expect to be there? With a lap surgery, I expect you will have left town days before I arrive on the 20th. I'm staying at the Sommerset Suites, so if you're still there the night of the 20th, look me up! Happy Anniversary to you and your wife. All best, Pat Pre-Op in SoCA 3 weeks from today! Quoting " Rory G.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi Rory, I'm still really backed up on my e-mail, but I did have to take a moment to let you know that you will be in my prayers for an uncomplicated surgery and a full and speedy recovery. Although it is probably way too late for to read this before her surgery . . . she is, of course, also in my prayers. I look forward to hearing that you are safely on the other side.
