Jorge52856, Hang in there. None of us know how easy or hard this journey will be but we do know we can be successful. I have lots to lose too. (its hard for me to say it publically, maybe its a woman thing) I don't have as much buy you may lose a lot quicker than I do. Jorge when is your surgery. Mine is July 16th. Good luck and hang in there. Anything is possible with the help of God.
