We travel in an RV and have been to Yellowstone,,, it is more than amazing... I can't walk or stand more than a few min because my back hurts so bad and I get out of breath so fast. I want to be able to walk enough to make my trips more enjoyable. Also, it will be great to be able to easily get dressed and put my shoes on,, and all the things that are easier without such a big stomach in the way... Hope to have my surgery in early 2016
