Thanks for the response......I totally understand the risks and of course I'm concerned, not really about the ultimate risk but anything else other than death. However I also can't continue existing like this everyday and for me the risk is worth the reward. I've been stuck at home for 7 years and these last few weeks leading up to the surgery have been the most frustrating....I've definitely reach the peak of what I can take and I just want to get on with it.....I'm going to use the remaining 6 or so weeks to continue training and dieting and prepare myself for the battle.
