Rowan, Best wishes as you celebrate your approaching re-birthday, having the lap rny. I'm almost five months ahead of you, down 68 lbs. and at this point, it's only a memory. So I will pray that your surgery goes as well as mine did, that God will be near you and keep His hand of protection on you until you wake up on the other side to a healthier, happier, more active lifestyle. You can do it! With love and prayers,
