Hello Cindy: I just had my RNY on 1/15/03. Every day I recover is a day of better health. I know you are going to do great. If you feel there is something you can't do, visualize your guardian angels around you picking you up to give you strength. It worked for me and it will for you. Always keep a positive attitude and look for the humor in this. Just remember - it will only hurt when you laugh, ha ha. We are all pulling for you. Best of luck and blessings for a safe, healthy recovery. Meg
