Unfortunately, most of those news stories are all hype and not much to back them up. Not to say that people don't have complications (which you already know), but basically, those stories are written and produced to scare Schmuly Joe Housewife out of her curlers. Unfortunately, that's how most news producers see their viewers.

If I flew to Colombus, I would have an hour layover in Minneapolis. You could come visit me at the airport. The Minneapolis airport is the funniest airport. Instead of restrooms/bathrooms/etc. all the bathrooms are labeled, "Toilets". That always makes me laugh. Also I would much rather visit when you live in FL. Can you blame me?

I find that whenever I am getting ready to or have made a life-changing decision, I can always expect to meet with opposition. Someone once explained to me that they just make you make yourself that much more sure of the decision you made. Stick to your guns and don't let anyone scare you. For every story of failure, there are hundreds of stories of success. (I have been looking into it as well as my MIL has been curious) HCMC's website had a good link for it and had many many success stories. On MSNBC I saw a great show about it and it was very inspiring at how much the people gained in their lives as far as quality. Granted, they still had to come to terms with inner emotions, but it was well worth it for all of them. My dad's friend said that the dietary issues are not as harsh or extreme as they tell you. He had the surgery last summer and has lost over 100 pounds. He still has like 300 pounds to lose. He weighed 550 plus pounds. He and dad just went on a business trip together. He is so much happier now.

Our kitten is also named Daisy. She usually sleeps in the bathroom too. It started because she was a crazy-tearing-bout the house kitten, and now it's because she likes sleeping in the tub. I hope that you figure out the source of the sniffles. It couldn't be whatever mold there is now with the Spring warmup could it be?
