Marcia, Best of luck with the start of your fantastic journey. Dr. Lane was my surgeon almost 6 months ago, and I think he's wonderful! No complications and down 100 lbs! Remember that walking makes everything better and keep pushing that PCA button. The first couple of days are not fun, but things get much, much better quickly. I'll keep you in my thoughts, but I know you're in good hands.

p.s. A great roommate really does make the experience easier, so it sounds like you're all set! =)
