31st:- D-Day. Off to hospital for 11am. Op at 14h00 and should last 3 - 6 hours. See ya! See pre-op photo on left @ 223kg, down 10kg since 7 Jan!
30th:- Day before operation. Feeling good (still hungry - day 7 of liquid diet!) and Peaceful, no nerves - God's grace is with me.I will be online as soon as I can next week. Cheers for now.
28th:- God is GOOD. Lisa called Doc directly and he says no need for R29K, he will go ahead without it.
25th:- Doctor's assistant called - we need to pay in R29,000 before she will confirm theater booking. Sherbert! Must Pray...
24th:- 1 week to go. Struggling with diet. Woke up with a killer headache - probably detoxing!

11th:-Saw the Endocrinologist today. Prognosis - I am a very good candidate for GP operation... Whooppeeeee. Now we wait for the medical aid to issue auth number!
5th:-Gastroscopy done yesterday. Yuckie spray in throat but wow, quick working aneasthetic. Sore throat after. Stomach slightly inflamed but that is probably all the peri-peri and tabasco... Abdominal Sonar done yesterday. Checked spleen, gall bladder, liver and bladder. Liver OK - shows you red wine does flush out liver. Gall bladder has a large stone - accounts for some of the pain I experience. It will be removed during operation. Other organs OK. Just need to see Endocrinologist and lose 10kgs by end Jan. GO GO GO!
3rd:-Operation booked for 31 Jan!I have seen the Psychiatrist and Dietician.
Psych report - although loopy and have some maternal issues, the operation is medically indicated in his opinion. Great!
Dietician report - liquid diet for 1 week prior and 2 weeks post operation. Pureed food for another 2 weeks and then on to .....soft food for 2 weeks yay! Operation is indicated. Great!
Blood tests done!Have worked out that by my birthday on 9 April I should be down by 30kgs! Praise the Lord.....
