definitely.  ha ha been thinking about going back on low carb diet but clearly have to wait until after recovery as it will be pretty much liquid diet for 5 - 7 days and plenty of carb stuff like ice creams etc.  I may buy some Soyent.  I was reading about the recovery apparently it's pretty a pretty touch first week, however I read on forums that everyone who went through the surgery late in life despite a hard recovery none of them regretted doing it as they no longer get sick.  

Anyway I'm considering it, getting Strep all the time, being on constant antibiotics sucks, I don't get anything else but Strep, some reason my body doesn't fight that infection, I've tried everything from building immune system to various mouth washes and gargling crazy stuff like Oregano Oil, but nothing seems to prevent it from coming back. Plus I don't sleep well, I have some sleep apnea, the doctor things it might cure that too as it will open up the airway more.  If I do it, I'm sure I'll be out at least a week, so have to time it with Steve etc
