John, my prayers and best wishes for a speedy and uneventful recovery are with you as you get closer to your surgery. I worked for 6 years to get my surgery approved, had it November 20, 2001 and have been going strong ever since. It was the best decision I ever made. I applaud you for perservering for 2 long years and want you to know your life is just about to begin. If I can ever answer any questions or offer you any support, please feel free to contact me. Enjoy the ride.carla
