Jvato ~ welcome!! and congrats on making the decision. Being there for my kids is one of my many reasons to have the surgery as well. What part of Texas do you live in? I'm in Grand Prairie (DFW area).

Having your wife there to support you and also knowing what you are going through is so great!! I bet she is an inspiration to you as well.

Take care.
