Hi, Daniel, I wish we had known you were in Lexington before now. I would have made a very special effort to get there to see you. being in the hospital sucks big time. But, I am glad to hear that they are thinking of letting you go home soon. Just hang in there honey, it does get easier and when you do get home come back to this site and post on the message board to us. Also we have a Kentucky message board. i am one year post op and have lost 100 lbs. I am under Dr. Steiner's goal by nearly 15 pounds and feeling great for an old gal (57)
