KTBB,
If you had to do it again, would you? I know everyone keeps saying "in six months you'll wonder why you waited so long", but I haven't had a chance to talk with anyone who's actually had it done. So I've got lots of questions. How long were you in the hospital?
By the way, I use to live in Fairbanks about 10 years ago. :thumbup:
Spent a lot of time in Snow Goose quilt shop, wonder if its still there.
