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.

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.
