Momma Angel - Thank you so very much for your kind words and prayers. Every profile that I review, you have taken the time to post a nice message upon. Many nice thoughts should also come your way. Both of my parents are now deceased, my father in 1988 and my mother just last October. I only wish that they were here to advise me withthis decision and to hopefully see the positive results. In any event, my surgery date for Laparoscopic RNY is Wednesday, June 25th. Thank you again, may God pave the way for you to have your surgery as well.
