Anyone from Africa itself?

Hello I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. I'm wondering if there is anyone reading this locally who'd like to chat with me. I am pre-op - have my first appointment with the surgeon (Unitas Hospital, Centurion) on 25/1/2007. All the usual questions and jitters - but I'm very excited about the whole process....hugs all round. Fiona

Hi I now live in the USA but am South African. I used to live in Cape Town. I had RNY in April 2005 and am now 5 months pregnant. Would love to chat and also extremey curious as to what the surgery would cost in SA, my parents keep me up to date with how expensive things are. Kerry
