Brenda, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine how distraught you must be at the prospect of so much change in your appearance....and your life. But your life comes first......and I can promise you that you will adjust to your "new normal." And you will find blessings along the way. Please put aside the concerns about finding enough paper bags. Be yourself.....and "yourself" is not what you look like. Don't let this take away the "self" that everyone knows and loves. At the same time, of course it is only human to worry about the changes that this radical surgery will bring. Please stay close by this wonderful group, because they know the stumbling blocks that lie in the path of each of us.....
