Pam,
Welcome to our great Amos sight. You will be able to find answers to all your questions and feel very comfortable with all the wonderful people on this site. I live in Columbus, and am 6 weeks post op, open RNY. I had my surgery done at OSU. I know what you mean about BTC. I have a friend that just had hers done at Mt.Carmel. Feel free to email me anytime. Wishing you the best of luck!
