Ok, my surgery is in about 2 weeks.

I recently had to give blood... not too bad.

I had the surgical hooks put in today... Not bad either, took about an hour to get everything in place.

Now with 2 weeks left, I have a pre-op appointment with a general doctor to do basic health check and then next week I have a pre-op with the surgeon.

In the meantime I am going to try to pack on about 5 to 10 pounds. I'm about 5'10, 180 right now and generally thin, so packing on weight is not the easiest for me unless I combine eating with heavy working out... Going to also start researching foods that I can eat after the surgery to avoid losing to much weight.

A little nervous now, but glad to be getting this over with sooner than later.
