Also, see if there is a support group through your local hospital where he can see the results of the surgeons that you will be using. Sometimes seeing how many people do great helps him to understand that these surgeries are not all bad!
Glad to see you post! Hope your feeling well! I saw news of the tornado... I can't imagine living through something like that. How awful! Praying for them too!
I haven't had surgery yet, but I wanted to say thanks for asking all of the questions! They sure have been helpful and encouraging to me! :)
I have young children so knowing that I can walk around and do simple tasks right from the time I get home (heating meals for them I prepare in advance...

I'm thankful that I don't have other problems, but I know if I keep up the yoyo dieting that I WILL have those problems. I don't want to have to fight...
Hi Dancinbr! What kind of dancing do you do? I used to go salsa dancing a lot in my pre-children days. I hope once I shed some of the excess weight I can get back to the fun! I still have my dancing shoes and can't wait to get them back on! As for the golf I see in your profile, I know there is...
That will be here in no time! That is the same day that I go for my first consultation. I'll say a prayer for you that day, that there are no complications and all goes as planned!
