Thanks!!!! Please do let me know how it goes. Which hospital are you going to? I was flipping channels last night and found Big Medicine. I had never heard or seen it but it was a marathon of sorts and I was absolutely hooked!. I had to really force myself to stop watching at 130 this morning it was so fascinating.

Topic: RE: Looking for an Angel ~
Where are you located? I live in Jackson and had the surgery Aug. 29, 2005 (the day Katrina hit). I would welcome talking to you concerning the surgery. The best thing I did was have the surgery. Make sure that you follow your doctor's directions. My name is Cheryl and my email is [email protected]. Email me if you are interested.

Well thank-you DeAnna for responding I will incoporate that to my pre-op and recovery. My sister had WLS about 3 years ago but she had several complications so she had to do her recovery different then most.
You are also a beutiful lady thanks for the compliment. Wish you lived closer but I guess we could become friends here. I will update you after my surgery, I should be home by the 25 th. Have a great day ~ Romelle
