Hi Everyone....just a quick update....I am finally home and out of the hospital....it was definately a long road...but the 2nd surgery fixed the problem with the staple line and I passed my second "swallow" test....hurray!! I am still pretty sore and will be much happier once i have this G-tube removed....but at least the drain is out and I am home. <G> Thanks so much to everyone for all of your well wishes and support!!!

11/3/01-Hi everyone! Great news to report on Jaynie! I FINALLY got to talk to her yesterday and she is doing great. She said her 2nd day post-op was the pits, but as of yesterday she was feeling like a new person! I was sooo relieved and happy to hear how well she is doing. She will be in the hospital for 7 days and then on fluids only for 6 WEEKS! Her doctor is much stricter than mine was! Well continue to keep her in your prayers as she goes through recovery and begins her new life! Diana

Hi Jayne, I had to write and say congrats on your surgery. I am originally from Pittsburgh but moved to Florida 10 years ago. I still bleed Black & Gold though, via satellite. My surgery is scheduled for 12/21/01. I too have Cigna PPO but they only took one week to approve once the paperwork was received. Well I hope we can become email friends & support for each other. Congrats & God Bless

Hi everyone. I am afraid I have no news on Jaynie. I called the hospital last night and they refused to tell me anything since I was not "immediate family". I tried again today and did get her room number 666 Bed 1 but someone else answered the phone when they put my call through. She said Jaynie was unable to come to the phone and asked if she could take a message. So I left my best wishes for her and then called patient information and asked to talk to the nurses station and they said if I wasn't immediate family they were not even allowed to patch me through to the nurses station. I am hoping everything is ok. Since she is in regular room she must be doing all right so I will try to quit worrying! Pray for her! I will try again tomorrow and see if I have better luck. Diana M.

Oct 28, 2001-Well kiddo...your new life is about to begin. I can't believe how fast the 31st is approaching! You of course probably think it has CRAWLED to this point! You are going to do fabulously! This is going to be the start of a brand new life for you! What a great feeling to get on the scale and see the numbers go DOWN not UP! And watching your clothes get bigger and bigger until you have to get new ones! And best yet, gaining back your health and self confidence so that you are able to truly be the very best that you can be. God Bless you Jaynie! You are and have been in my thoughts and prayers. I will update on here to let folks know how you are doing! Diana
