Suzanne-You are a brave woman and I'm proud of you. I know what you're doing is scarey....we humans always want the guarantee that it'll be just fine, don't we? I was an angel earlier this year to someone who flew to Mexico alone and had the RNY. She did just fine, although it was exhausting. My prayers are with you for a safe, speedy and healthy recovery. YOu have about 90,000 folks cheering for you....feels sorta like the Super Bowl doesn't it??? Let us know how you are as soon as possible, okay? (That's an order by the way :)
