Chip, so sorry to hear of your complications. I’m just dropping by to let you know, there’s a huge crowd of strangers out here pulling for you and holding you in our prayers. May your recovery turn the corner soon. Best Wishes-

Chip, I KNOW you have the peace of God as you go into surgery. I'm praying for a quick recovery and for God to guide the surgeons as they perform your ''healing'' through WLS today! Saving you a spot on the "LOSER'S" bench my friend! God bless you!
