Great to hear from you Jim, and I'm really pleased you have found a solution that you believe will work for you.
So sorry about the unbelievable tragedy that you & your family have endured, but you are 100% right that Nothing is more important than family and you have such a great motivation to make sure you're around and strong for your children.
From the short time I've 'known' you I'm certain that you will have fully researched the gastric band option - wouldn't work for me but we're all different.
Good to hear from you Jim, I hope it all works out as you desire. Keep in touch.
