Hi Kim,
I feel so blessed to be your Angel. Don't be scared about your upcoming surgery.....I will be praying hard for you to have a very easy time. God WILL Answer my prayer for you and I am sure that others will be praying for you also. Just have faith in him and he won't let you down. Don't have any fears about the strictures or gas....you may never experience any of it. I will help you all that I can and answer any questions that you might have ( that is....if I have experienced it ). LOL God bless you in all of your preparation for the upcoming journey that you are about to embark on. Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
