Hi Margaret,
I live fairly close to you - in Glendale. If you would like to call or email me, please do. I am 6 1/2 months post op from Lap RNY and feel I have been very successful. Take a look at my profile if you are interested. Also, if you are having your surgery at Pasadena Memorial, I might be able to come visit you on my lunch hour - if you think you would like that. Please let me know. I wish you the very best of luck and know that you will do just fine as you begin your journey. Susan
