Hey Kathi, Just stopping by to welcome you "aboard"! I wish you the best in your WLS journey. This is such a great site to meet others who are experiencing the same issues and offer great support and advice. I am still kinda 'newbie post-op' (surgery was Jan 3rd), but have been checking out this site for a couple of years. There's a wealth of information, but more importantly a family of people that are in the 'same boat' to share with. You are in my thoughts and prayers for your surgery to be uneventful and to have the speediest of recoveries. May you feel God's peace and love throughout your journey. Take care & God Bless You~~~Lisa
