Thanks BT Girl, was hoping for a little earlier in May (impatient bugger that I am) but Gordon say NO 3 months is the minimum time but he booked me for 29th May without a problem, I also asked if I could be first on the list and he agreed on that one so I sort of got my way, had a quick look on the calender so its surgery on the wednesday, back home for the long weekend (again) then 2 weeks off work, back ready to rock and roll before my colleague take 2 weeks off in July. Will now try to be good for the next 7 weeks - Gordon doesnt need me to do Opti thank goodness, although I have some Rapid Loss shakes I might use up I quite like the taste of those! Will now start getting my post op shit together - again!
