Leah,

i have talked things over with my mother and father to make sure they would be

there for the kids..i have taken picks and plan to take more i have written

letters to my family and have talked to my husband about my funereal .. well it

has made me feel better doing those things just to know if something did happen

it would not be so much of a burden on them.. i am sure i will be fine but there

is always a chance with any surgery not just the gastric bypass.. hope this

helped.. will talk to you later keep in touch..

kerri k.
