Hello Joy - Congratulations, how excited you must be right now? After all the months of waiting, researching, healing, etc, to finally be able to see the "results" on the scales is nothing short of fantastic. I've been through it myself and I know it's a long and hard journey but I also know the rewards more then outweigh the obstacles. When the weight finally starts to come off you regain a new and wonderful sense of freedom. It puts all the challenges along the way into perspective and you realize with each pound you've lost, inner strength was regained. Remember to <b>CELEBRATE</b> all the "special moments" along the way, big or small.  Too many people focus only on <i>numbers</i>, ie. pounds lost.  There are so many "moments" to look forward to and embrace on this journey - don't let any of them slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've more then earned it!!   <i> "The key to happiness is dreams, the key to success is making those dreams come true"</i> .....Hugs and Smiles : )

ANGEL flying in with an update. I spoke with Joy who had surgery at Mease Countryside Hospital Safety Harbor FL on 8/25/03 (MON). She got out of ICU WED night when a bed opened up on a regular floor. She's been bothered by fevers off and on and they were going to discharge her (today) until they continued today. They are being very diligent in getting to the bottom of things and she states she feels great. Ready to go home. We both are thankful for her team of docs and their thoroughness and are confident she will be going home soon-fever free. God Bless!!! Send up a prayer for a dear lady as she recovers. Thanks.

Angel coming in with good news! Joy continues to recover well, had and passed her leak test today. Was upgraded to go to regular floor from ICU in less than 24 hrs after surgery!!! Alas they have no available beds so she's still in ICU but very pleased with her care. You go Joy, you are on your way now. Welcome to the other side. Healing thoughts and prayers. Humbly, your angel.
