Prologue

Surgery -14 Days

According to my calendar, I will be having gastric-bypass surgery two weeks from today. The reality of the surgery is beginning to set in and my heart is starting to beat a little faster. Don't get me wrong. I am confident in my decision and the hope for a "thinner me" is intoxicating. The actual surgery, however, makes me want to run and hide.

I have really appreciated those of you who have chronicled your experiences with weight-loss surgery. Reading about you has added a sense of reality to the clinical documents I have read on the subject. This is my attempt to reciprocate and at the same time create a record for myself. My wife is a great writer. I am not. But I will do my best to record my story.

Once upon a time . . .
