Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 93 pounds!!! Good luck!

Hi Everyone, I just got in a few minutes ago from the hospital that's the reason for the late Post which I apologize for. Linda was doing a lot better when I left, I stayed late because I wanted to help her get in and out of bed for the first time. She did have a little bit of pain, nothing that she could really complain about. DR Slotman stopped by the waiting room after the surgery (on his way to the Chapel). He told me that she had about a 6-7inch incision, larger than he normally does because she had some unforeseen adhesions from a prior surgery, but everything went good, it took about 3 1/4 hours to complete. I can only hope things go well with my surgery May 26th. And that I don't have a problem w/ Aetna approving it in 2 weeks. There was a small scare earlier when her blood oxygen level went to 70 just before surgery, but they worked it out and she will be on oxygen for a while to keep her level up. Linda is in great spirits! Thanks to everyone for their continued prayers, wishes and support. Sam
