Congratulations on making it to the losing side. I am so glad that you are not in much pain and you had an easy surgery. I can only hope that mine goes as well. I am so excited and can't wait until that day comes. Good luck to you as you continue on your weight loss journey.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my recovery is going perfectly. I couldn't ask for any more. I'm not in much pain right now. A little sore after sleeping and first beginning to move in the morning. That goes away quickly. I have lost most of the weight I gained from the I.V.'s in the hospital and a little more. According to my scales I'm down about 5 pounds from when I went into the hospital. I know I still have some fluid from the I.V.'s to loose because my feet and legs are still a little swelled. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers. They meant so much to me. I have to thank the WISH Center. My experience with this surgery was fantastic. I was in some pain in the recovery room until they got it under control but after that it really wasn't as bad as I expected. The Hospital Staff was out of this world. I had a lot of experience with Hospitals due to my moms several years battling cancer and my dad's 2 strokes. I have never had an experience like the one at Provena Mercy. I can't say enough about them. They were then when I needed them. The Hospital was very clean. They were pretty open to my family being there whenever I wanted. I could go on and on about the Hospital and staff. I appreciate each and every one of them so much. The WISH Center has also helped the Hospital with a family activity area on that floor. It has a networked PC for patients as well as very wide and comfortable chairs throughout the nice large room. We spent some significant time there as a family. It was very nice. Well I'll try to update more after my 2 week follow up on the 11th. Thanks again for everyones thoughts during my surgery. It helped knowing everyone was out there thinking of me.

~*~I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.

This update is from the computer in the activity room at the Hospital. I had my surgery on Saturday July 26th and all went very smoothly. I could have gone home today. Because of the length of ride I had home the Doctor gave me the option of staying tonight and leaving in the morning, so I chose to do so. I appreciate everyone's prayers and well wishes. They meant a lot to me. Things couldn't have gone much better so far and the Hospital is beyond wonderful. I had the surgery at Provena Mercy Center in Aurora Illinois since that's where the WISH center does all of their Illinois surgeries. I just can't say enough about Provena. I'll write more later.
