well i dont know if i can call this an update as i haven't talked to jacque since she has come home from the hospital. i am keeping my distance, albeit reluctantly ( i miss ya, girlfriend) while she is dealing with all the major events from this week. i just want her to know and to make it public how wonderful of a person she is, how lucky i am to have her as a friend (and she was my wonderful angel when i had my surgery) and how grateful i am that she is still with us and how grateful i am for the support others have shown her here on the board. take care of yourself, jacque and everyone else who should be reading this.. alissa:)

Ahh Jacque, you nearly made me cry! You are not a loser because of a medical complication! And thank God your surgeon didn't continue! Obviously there was a problem that needs to be addressed and then you can have this surgery. Now I know you are disappointed but you wouldn't want the surgeon to go against his better judgement, right! Stay strong hon, all in God's time! You know we are all thinking of you!

Jacque, I am SO sorry your surgery had to be postponed. How disappointing that must have been. On the other hand, better to have to wait a few weeks if there is something going on with you that needs to be taken care of. I know we're all rooting for you to get another date soon and for things to go the way you expect this time. Keep your chin up!

Hi Jacque, So sorry to hear about your postponement. But I was also glad to hear that you are ok. We were all worried for you. Hang in there your day will come and as always we will be right there with you!! Big Hugs...Jackie

Well, its me. I'm sure you've heard, my surgery didn't go through. I experienced some complications as they were putting me under. When they inserted the tube into my lungs they went into a brochial spasm where they turned into two bricks (according to the anestitist) and they had to bag me for 45 minutes, during which time my surgeon got a 2nd opionon to find out if he should continue or postpone. It was decided that since gastric bypass is an "elective" surgery (don't you just hate that??) that it would be postponed. I have to see a pulmonologist and can't get in until 4/15 for that. My surgeon wants to give me a month before trying again. They are not saying it is because I am (WAS!!) a smoker, but that it could have been a contributing factor. My surgeon is a wonderful man, I still have all the faith in the world with him. I am more than a little depressed. I am still in some pain...there were no incision made, but I'm experiencing some lung capacity issues and something is wrong with my diaphram or something...seems there is just too much weight on it right now, although I've never felt that before. I feel like such a huge loser, and not the kind I wanted to feel like! Thanks to all of you who have written to me. Alissa, you are a doll and I know you are worried and are keeping back because you know that's what I need. Sandra, thanks for being such a sweetheart...believe me when I tell you I still believe in Dr. Clayton...geez, he held my hand and held my hair back as I vomitted. And Ms. Rhonda, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you when you called me in the hospital...I was quite out of it. I explained to my nurse who you were and she thought that it was the most wonderful thing that all of us are here for each other. Thank you for calling, you sweet lady. Best wishes to all of you wherever you may be in your journeys. I hope to join you on the other side soon. Thanks for letting me ramble....peace.

i dont know if my original update posted, so i will repost again,my gorgeous best friend jacque had bronchial spasms at the time they went to put her under anaestesia, and had to be recusitated. they did not obviously do the surgery then, even though it was considered.i have talked to her husband and her icu charge nurse and she is resting comfortably and can consider having the surgery again once she meets with a pulmonologist. please send good thoughts and good wishes jacque's way. and jacque when you read this, i can't believe what you have had to go through in your journey so far, but honey its gotta get easier at some point,doesnt it. i dont consider myself jacque's angel after her experience today, the fact she is alive, makes me think she has to have a real one... your time, will come, jacquelyn.... love, your friend, lisa
