Brad,

It is great for me to read your journal. It is December and I will be going to the States for my bypass surgery. I believe this will be in February or March. I am a little nervous so reading your journal has been a real benefit,

I hope that you contiue to right.

Thanks.

good for you Scott i am 4 weeks before my surgury and tips on the pre diet would be helpful, and any tips on excercise that can be done to reduce the excess skin would also be helpful, can you tell me did you lose any hair i have read that this can happen and need to know if it is a myth

Hey I am heading into surgery on Tuesday. You look awesome. It is so motivating to look at before and after photos of people having the surgery. I am slightly nervous. It is crazy but I think about will I know exactly what I will be able to eat.

Thanks for sharing your story. It is motivation for those of us who are looking surgery in the face. Wish me luck and keep up the awesome job becoming the new you.
