A Week Already

It was a week ago this afternoon I had weight loss surgery. In hind sight, I knew about ten percent of what to expect.

There was more pain than I expected, although I really should have had that one figured out. The procedure removed eighty five percent of my stomach and I underestimated the pain. Brilliant!

I underestimated the importance of Michelle's role in the process. From thinking straight when I was drugged up, to forcing me out of bed to walk, again & again & again; I could not have done this with out the firm love and compassion of my wife. We've shared every aspect of our lives for twenty years and I didn't have this one figured out. Idiot!

Before committing to weight loss surgery in Mexico, we did a lot of research and soul-searching. I was confident we'd made the right decision, or obviously we wouldn't have gone. The truth is, it was better in every aspect than we expected. From the time we were picked up in San Diego, until Alberto dropped up off back at the airport, the experieince met or exceeded our expectations in every way.

It's hard to belive it's been a week already.

No regrets.
