Jan, I am sending prayers for comfort and textbook perfection in your surgery. I just had mine a week ago, you and I are the same age, we weighed very close to the same before surgery, and I, too, started to have doubts the day before. So we have a lot in common.
You have made an informed decision for all the right reasons. Just rest in the love and comfort that you receive from this board and you will be up, smiling, and active in no time!
Hugs,
Pat (gypsy1947)
